The Decorative Arts Trust has entrusted its Study Trip Abroad program to Specialtours for two decades. Our international tours are more popular than ever thanks to the exceptional effort put forward by Specialtours’ talented staff in crafting excursions and experiences customized to meet our members’ interests and expectations. Their specialists provide us with meticulous planning, flawless execution, and tremendous insight on top sites, hotels and restaurants, all while maintaining a warm and welcoming demeanor. Simply put, our members love seeing Europe the Specialtours way.
Europa Nostra, the pan-European federation for cultural heritage, has been using Specialtours as organizer and operator for its Heritage Tours for some 30 years. Specialtours create highly original and exclusive tours and manage to gain access to prominent private properties, not open to the general public, which is a fitting feature of our tours. They always employ capable guides who demonstrate sound knowledge and expertise. When Specialtours are in charge of organizing a tour, this genuinely becomes a worriless process for us as principal. Professionalism, effectiveness and helpfulness have ensured that Specialtours have become a much respected and trusted partner in Europa Nostra’s Heritage Tours activities.
Specialtours’ contacts are the best. Their hotel choices are perfect… restaurants are different and interesting, local and delicious. No detail is left to chance and glitches disappear before the travellers even notice. In the nicest way, they run a tight ship.
It was a great, great trip and unlike anything I have experienced in terms of access, accommodation and incredible things to look at and experience – I would do it again in a minute.
