Sheila
Hancock said:
The lecturer, Joachim,
was German, tall and rangy, with the vague air of a university don
until he started talking about his subject when he became focused
and brilliant. Not just because he was extremely erudite and he knew
Venice well, having lived there for several years, but because he was
in no way blasé or
jaded about its beauty. In fact on several occasions he was moved to
tears by sights he had talked about many times. I liked him for that..
This is an extract from a book called JUST ME by Sheila Hancock,
published by Bloomsbury Publishing.
A
comment on the Sicily tour in 2010 commented:
Excellent. There was interest and variety all the way; no time wasted,
but plenty of time for each visit. Top marks across the board.
No tour can satisfy all the participants all the time, but this got
as near to it as is reasonable to expect.
A
traveller on the Giotto to Signorelli tour in 2010 commented:
Great fun and I learnt a lot!
A
client on the Franconia tour in 2009 commented:
An exemplary study tour. Very cleverly planned, with a stunning
climax.
The tour lecturer and tour manager were a terrific team: efficiency
and charm combined with erudition and consummate skill in conveying
it. A winning formula.

ART PURSUITS
A boutique operation in Buckingham, Art Pursuits was founded by art historians
Nicola Smith and Joachim Strupp. Tours tend to have a thematic focus—as
in "Villas of the Veneto"—but
also cover regional highlights. The London-based "Study Days" itinerary
is ideal for commitment-wary culture vultures.
A
person on the Antwerp tour in October 2008 commented:
One of the best I've been on! The lecturer was without doubt the
best local guide I have ever had - and I have now been on 21 tours
of this kind.
A
couple on the Sicily tour in October 2008 said:
We just want to add that you gave us a wonderful holiday: the planning
and organisation were meticulous and yet the atmosphere was always
relaxed and easy-going. Both lecturer and tour manager were interesting
and informative and easy on the ear and worked tirelessly for us.
A
comment on the Munich tour in 2008 was:
Excellent: all the pleasures of pilgrimage without the penance
A
comment received following the Franconia tour in 2008 said:
It was an eye-opening and also a hugely enjoyable trip. I have been boring
all my friends with my new enthusiasm for rococco.
Two
comments received about the Siena and Southern Tuscany tour in 2008
were:
Probably the best cultural tour that I have ever been on in my life (and
that's a long time!).
Fantastic - treat after treat! And study notes a helpful backup to
places visited.
