Special Tours, the London-based tour operator that specialises in arranging itineraries with a cultural theme, has unveiled a new selection of European tours for groups.

These include ‘Swedish Homes and Palaces’ and takes place over nine days, offering groups the opportunity to visit some of the best stately homes in Sweden. Many of the properties visited are private homes and groups are received exclusively by the owners.

Similarly, the six-day ‘Art in Madrid’ itinerary visits a selection of Spain’s finest museums in addition to private art collections in the homes of collectors.

All tours are accompanied by an expert guide. GTOs can negotiate discounts on a sliding scale.
