Our recent Lake District tour has come to an end, leaving us with unforgettable memories and breathtaking views like this one.

"From Ruskin's home, Brantwood, you can see nearly the entire stretch of Coniston Water from its southern point to the northern tip, framed by the most extraordinary high hills and fells. It's no wonder that Ruskin was so in love with this area. The sheer beauty of the landscape, with its towering hills and majestic fells, is what truly defines the experience here." - Elaine H. Ellis

Many of our current programs are offered in conjunction with museums, architectural, preservation and other cultural organizations, they are usually open to the public. If you are looking for something special, we are happy to prepare an itinerary for individual travelers, or to develop a specialized, escorted tour for small groups of from 6 – 12 people that will be designed to satisfy specific interests.​

As seasoned travel providers, we know the standards that our (mostly American) travelers need and have come to expect. And you have not only the most knowledgeable guides, but you also have a variety of guides each of whom will spend a half day, a full day or a couple of days with the group which guarantees that there will be ample time to chat with them over lunch or dinner or drinks. This greatly enhances the experience and the knowledge you gain by traveling with us.
