What's it like to travel with Iain and Barbara?

The atmosphere we try to create is that of a group of compatible friends, exploring their common interests.

In addition to opera, these clearly include good food and wine!

How are the tours planned?

The design of each tour is usually planned around opera performances, each preceded by a background lecture from Iain.

Our sightseeing often has an operatic focus - on the trail of Verdi, Puccini, Mozart, Wagner, etc.

What set of accommodations do you choose?

Hotels are usually "4 star" or "5 star" - ideally situated within easy walking distance of the opera house.
