Cultural tours for travelers who seek understanding as well as photo ops, expert guiding, excellent accommodations, and affordability.
About Us
We are travelers who love architecture, landscapes, and the arts and enjoy gaining an informed understanding of places of exceptional interest, wherever we find them. We specialize in small groups of congenial travelers.
When John Braymer organized the "Pilgrimage to Palladio" in 2008 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the great Italian architect Andrea Palladio, he offered up a tour with scholarly rigor, unparalleled hospitality, and palpable congeniality.
Many of the original Palladian "pilgrims" continue to enjoy tours together--tours that combine coherent, "curated" itineraries highlighting exceptional art and architecture, comfortable and varied hospitality, and--always--the most congenial traveling companions.
