Cultural holidays

Cultural holidays for individuals and garden tours for small groups to selected destinations worldwide

Music and opera festivals

Expressions Holidays can include visits and tickets to concert and opera festivals and performances with any holiday. We can arrange for you to visit the opera as part of a longer holiday or a short break, or the performance can be the main reason for the holiday. In all events, we arrange tailor-made holidays and short breaks that include tickets to concerts and operas in destinations worldwide.

Cultural breaks and tours

Expressions Holidays offers a range of cultural breaks and tours that we have designed for individuals. You don’t travel as part of a group, but we have arranged an itinerary for you that includes visits and local guides, or gives you all the background information you need to choose the places you want to visit. Examples include Cultural holiday to the Amalfi Coast for families, a holiday with visits to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum.

Festival holidays

Arranging your holiday to coincide with a local or regional festival adds an exciting angle to a luxury hotel holiday. There are many local festivals in the countries we feature, whether it be Venice’s Feast of the Redeemer or the Festival of the Tooth in Kandy, Semana Santa in Seville or the Hoi An Lantern Festival in Vietnam.

Painting holidays

Painting holidays can be arranged at some of our hotels where there is a relationship with a local artist who will give lessons, either on a set-date basis or on request for individuals. We establish your level of skill and requirements from the lessons and then arrange accordingly.

Garden holidays and tours

We offer you garden tours for small groups and tailor-made holidays that can incorporate garden visits with local guides.

Heritage, art and architecture holidays

Expressions Holidays arranges touring holidays with a focus on heritage, art and architecture. We have constructed tours and holidays that include possible visits to sites, museums and galleries. An example is the ‘Tour around the work of Geoffrey Bawa’ in Sri Lanka, or ‘Spanish art and architecture tour’, or ‘In the footsteps of Palladio’ holiday in the Italian Veneto.
