CICERONI Travel Traveller Reviews

Very comfortable hotel , excellent visits to gardens and Firle Place. Organisation excellent with very good transport. My only quibble was our long evening journey from the hotel to Glyndebourne. I feel two smaller buses and a trip along the more direct route would have been preferable.

Efficient.

Very good balance between outdoor visits and opera evenings. Excellent and knowledgeable guides. Very good choices for food.

Excellent, everything well organised.

A marvellous week! Every visit brought its own delightful surprises enhanced by Tom Duncan's entertaining and hugely knowledgeable lectures and commentary! We enjoyed welcoming and kind hospitality at each house and garden we toured! Excellent meals with delicious food and wine planned for each day ensuring that the holiday was a happy social time as well!

As always the Ciceroni Office was efficient and thoughtful. Each booking went according to plan. Any queries they had from my booking form were personally followed up with a telephone call to ensure that the holiday went smoothly. Tom Duncan was so welcoming when we arrived at our destination.

Efficent in all fields

Excellent lecturer. Interesting itinerary. Fascinating venues. Excellent food, good accommodation and transport.

Very helpful and efficient.

During our holiday called - 40 shades of green: the gardens of Ireland - we saw the most gorgeous gardens, large estate formal gardens, a botanical arboretum and much more. All excellently introduced and accompanied by the owners or curators or creators and custodians. In most of these places we had delicious lunches too prepared with the vegetables and garnished with the flowers we saw earlier in the gardens. All so delectable and delicious.

In one word : faultless. When travelling with Ciceroni Travel everything is perfect from start to finish.

Our trip in Northumbria with Ciceroni was a marvellous experience. The itineraries each day were well chosen and well balanced preceded by interesting lectures about the content for the day.Tom Duncan is a brilliant and engaging tour leader and his knowledge is amazing.He ensured that every person in the group was well informed about the day,s programme and was extremely well looked after at all times. I look forward to our next trip with Ciceroni.We have made friends with many of our fellow travellers on the tour and experienced a very enjoyable, interesting and happy time

Tom Duncan at Ciceroni is a very well informed, engaging and friendly tour leader. He imparted a huge amount of detail each day in a lively way. The Ciceroni team members are extremely helpful organising the trip and nothing is too much trouble.We travel from Australia each year to join a Ciceroni tour and hope to continue this in the future.There is always a very good list of tours and each one is very tempting. We know that each day will be filled with a variety of sights which we often see before the general public has access.

We have been on a number of trips with Tom Duncan of Ciceroni Travel. He is a very informative and entertaining leader to be with, as well as being very efficient over the organization and we have always much enjoyed his tours which usually include some special private venues

Despite torrential rain and gales, our group had a splendid time visiting all the essential Northumberland sites, manors and delightful gardens. Our leader Tom Duncan was, as always, masterly in his knowledge, insight, wit and cheerful encouragement (standing on Hadrian's Wall amid mud, wind and lowering skies took stamina, but with his exhortations we conquered!). Our base was the excellent Matfen Hall Hotel set in rolling acres and providing civilized comfort, good food and welcoming service. Other than the poor weather, this trip could not have been bettered.

Tip-top organisation. One is in good hands with Ciceroni Travel.
