What our tour members are saying:

Dear David: A belated great big thank you for the wonderful 'Mozart & Shakespeare in England' tour. I truly enjoyed every minute and I look forward to many more tours with your company - you know how to do things right!! (And take me back to Glyndebourne!! That was worth the trip all by itself).
Best wishes,

"The tour was perfect from start to finish - we loved the performances and the tours and the wonderful dinners. You have gone above and beyond my expectations. I loved looking out of our window at the hotel in Parma - it was like being transported back in time. We'll never forget this trip."

— Celia & Norman D.
Verdi, Puccini & Mozart in Italy, October 2009


"Autumn in Ontario 2008 was not only the best performing arts tour we've taken, but one of the best trips of any type either of us has been on. There was just the right combination of outstanding drama and music, elegant accommodations, superb food and wine, touring, and free time. Your concern for detail and for the comfort of your clients was evident at all times. We look forward to travelling with
Aria Tours again.”

Phil and Carol C.
