The Italy Opera Group Tour specialists, also offering other parts of Europe, United Kingdom, Australia & New Zealand.
We specialise in group tours for independent, like-minded people. Each year 3 or 4 boutique tours of around 3 weeks are offered, all hosted and of course created by Jennifer and Stewart. Other tours are managed by our local tour directors and guides. In addition we create ‘Tailor-Made’ tours for travel retailers, groups, choirs or societies with a primary interest in opera and/or classical music.
Our tours are unrivalled, offering every aspect of travel, from our favourite hotels and restaurants to visits and performances, booked personally, direct with suppliers. This ensures smooth running and consistently high standards. Excellent value for money is a further benefit. It is no surprise that our tours boast an extremely high percentage of repeat clients.
The sparkling itinerary takes in various attractions and visits relating both to music and to broader fascinations in the cities, towns and regions visited. A favourite and ever-popular tour is to the annual Festival Verdi in Parma, often parcelled with a stay in Milan for La Scala and/or Venice for La Fenice. All Festival Verdi tours and Parma Opera mini-breaks take in the main performances and explore the life of Verdi, Pavarotti and other greats. Excellent seats are guaranteed.
We have wonderful long-standing relationships with the various Opera Houses and theatres featured. It is satisfying to know our clients attend performances in some of the greatest opera houses in the world. Hearing of their excitement on entering the theatre and settling into premium seats is great reward for our hard work and relationship building.
Our hosted group tours are now so popular, clients avoid missing out by ‘Reserving a Place’ well before tours go on sale. Every tour offered is ‘guaranteed departure,’ and they always sell-out!
