If you are planning a trip abroad consider exploring the artistic treasures of great cities with a private, specialist guide at your side, as in the days of the Grand Tour. Each year Siân accompanies a number of tours in the capacity of a private guide and has led over 100 cultural trips throughout Europe, mainly in Italy and Spain.

Sian is delighted to have been nominated for the Daily
Telegraph World's Best Guide Award in 2008 and 2009

The advantage of private guide means that you can go at your own pace and leave the organisation of your daily itinerary up to Siân. We will, wherever possible, make advance bookings to avoid queuing, arrange meals in excellent, colourful local restaurants and book concert and opera tickets if required. We will also introduce you to some of the hidden delights of towns and cities as well as well-known favourites. Simply let us know when you are planning to travel, then leave it to us to put together a daily itinerary for you. It couldn’t be simpler!

"Just to thank you so much for the lovely visit to Spain. I enjoyed it enormously, and felt that it enabled me to absorb some of the typically Spanish atmosphere reflected in the landscape, architecture, wealth of decoration and paintings. The hotels were a delight and the calibre of the restaurants and other places of refreshment that you took us to must surely warrant you to entitle the trip "Culture plus Cuisine"! The group was friendly and you organised everything beautifully ... Thank you!"
Mrs Brenda Brown

"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Venice with you and are hugely appreciative of all you did to make the trip so memorable. Your meticulous planning, varied itinerary and attention to detail ensured everything was perfect for us and we had nothing to worry about. The delightful and informative way you shared your extensive knowledge of the art and history really brought the past to life for us. We look forward to future trips next year"
