OUR HISTORY

TGT strives to capture the spirit of the classic cultural pilgrimage made by British and Americans who, beginning in the 17th century, wished to complete their educations by observing the great sites of the classical age and Renaissance in person. This sojourn abroad—a movable feast of history, architecture, fine art, good food, and often general revelry—came over time to be known as THE GRAND TOUR.

TGT was started in 1999 in Seattle by Peter Straus, Marc Mariani and Tyler Lansford, bound by a mutual love of Italy and the desire to create tours for people who don’t take tours. Peter moved the company to Peterborough, New Hampshire, in 2003.
