I can't praise Academy Travel enough for their unique tours and lecture series. You just can't go past this fabulous company for their wonderful tour leaders and staff, who are so knowledgeable and for all the care and attention shown to their clients. Without a doubt, the only travel company I would choose.

It was an excellent chance to see familiar and not so familiar galleries and to broaden my knowledge of art in many forms. Tour leaders were as expected in Academy Travel very knowledgeable and friendly. If I survive enough years I will book more tours with them. GMK

Excellent small group tour company specialising in tours for the thinking person. My tour of Rome was lead by an A/Prof of Ancient History (USYD). The Academic tour lead was supplemented by a full time local Italian tour leader who dealt

I'm getting excited about returning to Italy early next year and, using the Academy Travel suggested reading list before our tour, I found this little gem to read - Italian Villas and their Gardens by Edith Wharton 1903.
