The U.S. TOURS: Philly and NH

 


New England  ~ A Romantic Vision for Everyone!

A symphony of colors in Autumn. Old mills reflected in crystal clear water. The aroma of artisan breads baking. And… the attraction to this woody, hilly land of independent characters of stellar talent!
   Thus, was the inspiration for "Creative Genius at Home" day tours. We have combined beautiful settings, private visits with these remarkable people, as well as the finest regional cuisine prepared by world-renown, international and local chefs. The experience is, indeed, memorable!

The Art of Freedom... The Freedom of Art Tour
October 12 -17, 2024 - Now Taking Reservations

Five awe- inspiring days in Philadelphia as we encounter FIVE Creative Geniuses who have and still are changing the world! Be thrilled by a day in the Treehouse, a secret village for young people to thrive in Peace and Beauty, an Oasis in the Park where ALL children play together in harmony in an idyllic setting, the magnificent celebrated Magic Garden, and the very place where Art and Freedom were born in the form of Glass!!!

This Creative Genius Tour is endless with extra-ordinary events! Besides experiencing one of the world's greatest contempory glass collections, you will meet the founder of the museum, Irv Borowsky, who works non-stop to bring Peace into the world!  (He helped to rewrite the Bible with the Vatican to eliminate all bigoted expressions and that version is already circulating!)

We will also have the honor of a private tour of The Wharton Esherick House, a treehouse located on a hilltop above Valley Forge! The handsculpted home is breathtaking and the engineering skill of this 20th century art icon is remarkable!

No doubt you have heard of the Philadelphia Renaissance? We will meander through the neighborhood of glass and ceramic mosaics created by Isaiah Zagar! A visit in his garden is a must!!

And, of course, lovely lodgings overlooking the park and one of our dinners is enjoyed aboard an exquisite sailboat, The Mosholu!
