Unique Travel Tours & Programmes

Our one-of-a-kind travel programmes allow guests to combine private house & garden tours with exclusive tutorials led by Britain's cultural elite, focusing on social and cultural skills such as fine art, antiques, horticulture, wine, architecture and design.

Alexandra Messervy has been leading cultural learning tours and English garden tours for over twelve years, creating a range of visits and masterclasses for connoisseurs to private palaces, houses, collections and gardens throughout the British Isles, Ireland and France. Each programme is handcrafted and led by experts in their field, and guests have the unique opportunity to step beyond the restraints of normal vacation travel, learning at first hand from owners and specialists.

We develop bespoke learning programmes for individuals, couples, and groups. Working with an exclusive network of suppliers, we ensure that every detail is taken care of throughout your journey with us, from the time of an initial enquiry to the moment you arrive home, from travel and health insurance to baggage loss, special dietary requirements and individual preferences, and our relationship worldwide with leading travel professionals ensures competitive airline and cruise ship rates.

Providing accommodation and dining with our tutors and hosts within some of our finest English and European estates and, on occasion, superb country house hotels, we have tried to recreate, as far as possible, the congenial atmosphere of a private house-party of days gone by, but with a modern twist. All of our travel programmes are designed by Alexandra Messervy and each is tailored to our clients needs and individual preferences and desires, incorporating the highest standards of accommodation, food and good company. Throughout the journey, our guests are taken care of; every detail is covered, every comfort anticipated, and groups are small and exclusive.

Later this year we will be launching a special tour of the gardens and chateaux of the Loire; a fine arts and antiques tour of Scotland. Watch this space for more information.
