“Tom is the most informative and entertaining guide we have had”

Feedback

“Third time in Venice and the first time I feel I truly saw Venice. Tom Abbott is an extraordinary tour director. His passion is contagious. His knowledge is deep and wide. He is charming, funny and considerate. A gem. Best trip ever… Cannot praise the tour enough. Until you appreciate the art of Venice you haven’t seen or experienced the city. Magical.”
 
“Tom Abbott is the GOLD standard that all tour leaders should aspire to. He is the perfect guide, exuding genuine passion and unbelievable knowledge of his chosen subject, plus warmth and genuine kindness towards his group”
 
“Tom Abbott’s mastery of art and architecture is outstanding. You will never see Venice and its treasure trove of art collection and architecture in the same way. Tom is the best.”

“Having travelled with Tom Abbott to the Hanseatic League last year, I know him to be a caring and courteous Tour Director, with a vast reservoir of knowledge that is shared in easy to digest portions. I was not disappointed”
