CICERONI Travel Traveller Reviews

Varied and interesting programme, enhanced by Tom Duncan's scholarship & wit! James Hill is an excellent raconteur. The whole package was extremely well engineered. What makes these tours so appealing is that there is an emphasis on sociability and the well chosen restaurants & private visits contribute to a most congenial atmosphere.

Cannot fault them!

Very Very Happy - You never disappoint!

My grateful thanks. as ever, to Tom and James, and to the Ciceroni Office, unseen, but gratefully and greatly appreciated.

I loved all of it ,as you can see. I should have loved to stay longer in some places- e.g Cividale, but obviously this was not possible.I would have put excellent for all the meals. However the first meal in Udine was really outstanding so deserves a higher accolade! In all another wonderful,special & memorable Ciceroni trip-thye just get better & better.

Very well researched,organised & accomplished - I have travelled with several art history companies & Ciceroni comes out top in every aspect.

Thank you all so much for a really interesting and enjoyable week. I really enjoyed seeing the Oratorio della Purita in Udine and went back to look at the Tiepolo ceiling!

This was my first holiday with Ciceroni & I look forward to travelling with this company again. I was very impressed with all aspects of service offered by this tour operator & have no hesitation in recommending Ciceroni to others interested in art history, Italian history & culture.

Would return to nearly all ( main visits) for a second time.5 days was just right.Longer would have been exhausting! Tom Duncan was 6 star, on a scale of 0-5.

Without hesitation, we will use Ciceroni again.

This holiday could not have been improved upon. The new audio guide system is much better. Tom Duncan's talks on Irish history were gripping.

Somehow CICERONI Travel herd cats without any of us realisning that either we are cats or are being herded!

What can you say? It would not be the same without Tom's Overview. We particularly enjoyed his discussion of Irish History.Very varied visits but without exception all well worth visiting.Mount Juliet was a superb base with large and comfortable bedrooms. Staff were excellent and dinners at the lady Helen restaurant superb both as a group and privately.

A memorable holiday, We will do another Irish tour.

Stayed for 5 nights at the very comfortable Mount Juliet House. Staff helpful and friendly though a little spring clean in places would not come amiss. Visited cathedral, museum and castle in Kilkenny, country houses and castles in the area and some romantic ruins. Shown round by a butler, estate manager and even an Earl who spent the day with us and entertained us to lunch together with his wife. Visits were all most interesting and enjoyable. Meals provided were all of a very high standard. Coach travel was comfortable with a first class driver. Talks both on the coach and at properties by Tom Duncan were detailed, interesting and thought provoking. We have returned with a far better understanding of the complicated history of Ireland. This was a most enjoyable tour with a delightful group of like minded people and we felt privileged to visit some sights not normally open to the public.

We have travelled with Ciceroni several times. We have always had excellent service from initial enquiries at Head Office through to the tours themselves. Ciceroni and Tom Duncan himself always go the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and valued.
