What a great week we had in Le Marche, great company, loads of Italian language and wonderful food and wine! www.grand-tourist.com
The 'Learn Italian in Luxury' trip was hugely enjoyable- a fantastic group of people - great characters and great company. A big thank you to everyone for making such a marvellous week.
In fact it has been an amazing year for Grand Tourist - it has been our pleasure to look after just over 100 passengers and to ensure that their holiday experiences have been exceptional. In fact looking back over the year I guess some of the highlights would have to be:
The wonderful WCFM group in Istanbul for a long weekend (that's the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers to you and me).
The bevy of beauties from Bournemouth (and nearby) travelling riotiously through Europe by train - first class of course - and finally ending up in Rome for a 60th birthday party and to throw coins in the trevi fountain. 'Three Coins in a Fountain' for a very special lady.
The serious shoppers from Newcastle who enjoyed the silk factories and studios of Lake Como and the amazing factory shops of Le Marche including bargains from Prada, Tods and Armani - all thanks to Grand Tourist.
Janet, Holly, Emma and Sarah thank you for your company and look forward to welcoming everyone again soon on a Grand Tourist holiday experience.
After a fleeting visit to Barcelona to see Leonard Cohen in concert I'm off to Le Marche, Italy on 3rd October. My destination is the gorgeous Santo Stefano - a magnificent country house nestling in the rolling hills about 25 kms from Ancona.
Here in a luxurious and elegant setting Grand Tourist is running a one week 'Learn Italian in Style' course with daily lessons, a sympathetic local Italian teacher and incredible food & wine. It promises to be a week of relaxation, learning and gastronomic joy!! We've got one place left on this incredible trip if any last minute linguists would care to join us! Contact janet@grand-tourist.com for more details. Looking forward to Santo Stefano with Grand Tourist !!
We had a great couple of days in Istanbul with the WCFM - what a great group of charming and delightful individuals - thank you so much to our friends in Istanbul who helped enormously to make it all happen.
Next year I'm keen to offer a driving tour of the whole of Turkey featuring Cheshire Classic Cars (our sister company) and offering participants the chance of driving their own classic car on a circuit of this amazing country.
The modern Turkish economy is huge - a population of 70 million people. There is also a truly impressive mix of old and new - from the brand new Harvey Nichols (located in a truly spectacular state-of-the-art shopping centre) to the 1600 year old Santa Sofia Church.
Add the location of Istanbul on the shores of the Bosphorus - and you've got a short break destination to die for! So if you fancy a trip to Turkey and Istanbul contact holly@grand-tourist.com or janet@grand-tourist.com and we'll tailor a trip just for you!!
