The Grand Tour By Alliance Travel Service

 

About “Grand Tour"

 

In the past "Grand Tour" was the name of the journey that the European noblemen and rich bourgeois took in Italy to discover its ancient beauty and its incomparable richness of art and culture. It was more than a simple tour or a passing fashion: it became a fundamental moment in the cultural training of every cultured European.  

 
The "Grand Tour" Today
 
Today The Grand Tour by Alliance Travel Service aims at promoting the knowledge of the Italian cultural heritage in the spirit of the travellers of the XVIII century. To this end, we put at your disposal highly trained guides, archaeologists and art historians, that will help you discover  the artistic beauties of our country in a new light.  In addition,  they will help you discover the lesser known treasures often ignored by mass tourism. We organize theme itineraries - “tailored” on demand - private guided tours to monuments and museums, attendance at traditional events, and much more.

The Grand Tour today for us means: travelling "slower", have a deeper experience of what you visit, enjoy also local food, drinks, products, talk to the locals and learn more how that building or museum influenced the artists of the Modern and Contemporary Ages.

Mission

Alliance Travel Service aim is to create unique and authentic experiences, rather than providing general packaging and standard travel services. “Alliance” name was inspired by the Moses alliance and it is founded to create an alliance with the culture and for the culture. Our clients do not simply buy a service or a travel, they make a deep cultural experience often tailored by our professionals who chose culture not only as their job field but as way of living.
   
Our Philosophy

Making Art Speak” means to establish a real dialogue with art works, which are often only admired for their beauty at a distance but rarely fully understood and experienced. According to a famous anecdote, probably not historically true, when Michelangelo got angry with the statue of Moses pronouncing the well famous phrase “why you do not speak” while throwing an hummer against it, probably he was afraid that his work would become an object admired for its beauty but at the same time speakless in its perfection.
