There is one imperative central to every tour which Cultural liaisonS offers; it has to have something which will make it ‘extra special’ to its tour members. Should that essential ingredient not be found, then the tour never proceeds beyond the planning stage
There is, in addition, the definitive ‘extra special’ that descriptions cannot capture - the ‘distinctiveness’ which our regulars regard as epitomising Cultural liaisonS
This perception gives our tour members a relaxed contentment, knowing that the tour has been meticulously planned, has charismatic communicators, is rich in added value and is being accompanied by a Tour Director dedicated to ensuring the group’s utmost satisfaction

Our Contacts

The product of over 40 years’ experience embracing the arenas of education and tourism, our ‘contacts book’ is our treasured resource for ensuring:
● knowledgeable and enthusiastic exponents of their special interests to accompany, enhance and inform your tour
● high quality, welcoming, well-run hotels to ensure your comfort and enrich your enjoyment
● a select band of coach drivers and comfortable coaches to take you without stress to memorable locations and venues
● and contacts who are able to ‘open extra doors’ at the itinerary venues, making our programmes always different, sometimes unique

Our central tenet of liaising

Each year we present just four-to-six tours, each designed to reflect the wishes and interests of our regular travellers - and, we trust, prove also persuasive to newcomers to Cultural liaisonS

It’s the central importance of liaising which makes our tours distinctively different. Each tour is the product of three sensitively honed stages:

● Taking the suggestions and proposals of our ‘regulars' as our starting point, we have an intensive research phrase
● From this, we craft our bespoke dimension to ensure we best accord with the personal interests, level of energy and travel preferences of each group’s likely participants
● We then take the tour to our cardinal liaising stage - our central tenet - whereby we fine-tune the programme with our selected service providers - the hotels, transport companies, venues and guide
And the liaising continues until the completion of the tour; the Cultural liaisonS’ tour- manager travelling with you, acting on the group’s behalf to cover every detail in our quest to excel and ensure your complete satisfaction

● Don’t hesitate to discuss any tour with us and do let us know if you have a suggestion for its further development or ideas for new tours

Introducing our Tour Ambassadors......

We consider the primary role of our tour guides and tutors to be ambassadors - ensuring our objective of fully engaging the group with historical, cultural and geographical ‘footprint’ opportunities offered by the visited venues and places.  Each tour is enhanced by illumination from one or several quality guides - ensuring informed experiences, local perspectives and enhancing your pleasure
● A witty anecdote, meticulous preparation, discovering hidden gems, taking us ‘beyond doors’; all make for the extra-special tour guide
● Someone whose company puts you at ease, who engages your curiosity and whose judgement you know you can trust are the qualities of a chosen local companion

● We don’t simply book guides - we seek charismatic communicators who combine all the above qualities and are passionate advocates of their region; these are our Tour Ambassadors, skillfully conveying their expertise and enthusiasm for the subject or location

....... Our hotels

Our hotels are carefully selected for their prized ambience and idyllic settings - often with sea or landscaped views - along with their appropriateness as an ideal location as a base for our tour itinerary
● We mainly select ‘4-star’ or ‘3-star-superior’ family-owned hotels which prize their individuality and reputation for service, excellent local food and friendly atmosphere
● Unless otherwise stated, each tour includes half-board accommodation offering a cooked breakfast and a dinner menu of a minimum of three courses, with three choices per course. Accommodation is in twin/double en-suite bedrooms along with, at a supplement, a sole-occupancy option
