Architecture Tour of USA

2-25 May 2024

 THE TOUR AT A GLANCE…

 

Our tour travels west to east after beginning in vibrant San Francisco to see the very

latest in contemporary architecture; we then travel south to Los Angeles and then 

to Phoenix, Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Columbus, Niagara Falls and New York.

 

We pride ourselves in achieving a high percentage of return guests and whilst some

are architects, most just enjoy the variety of buildings, urban spaces and people,

which all help to create the camaraderie and fun on all of our renowned architecture

tours.

 

We have included exceptional buildings, many with guided tours, providing a

balance of new and old classics. We have also allowed additional time for participants to individually enjoy personal interests, or time to enjoy galleries, visit museums and share the sheer pleasures these beautiful places have to offer. 

 

 

Architects include Saarinen,  Calatrava, Foster, DS+RN, BIG, Piano, Hadid and Gehry, plus the very best buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright

Architecture Tour of Japan

4 -21 November 2023

BOOKED OUT APRIL 2023 *

 

Our tour includes the top six destinations in Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Mount Fuji and Hiroshima. Japan in autumn is more than just spectacular colour, it’s full of intrigue, with fascinating variety and a land of contrasts. We will visit not only significant modern and contemporary work in Japan but also traditional architecture, all with outstanding landscape design.

 

Timeless and traditional design has been the leading inspiration for the modernists worldwide through the influence of Japanese design principles. So following the success of several Travelrite tours of the USA we will visit a few of Frank Lloyd Wright’s projects outside of America. Japanese architects have now won the prestigious Pritzker Prize for Architecture seven times since 1979 with four being in this past decade. We will not only focus on eminent Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, but also view exciting projects of ten other significant, internationally acclaimed architects. The best, most popular sites from our guest feedback of our 2014 tour are included plus 25 more memorable contemporary buildings and priceless temples.

 

We are delighted that Yasuko, our wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide from 2014, who also arranged many memorable authentic Japanese lunches, will also be joining our team to make this the ‘tour of a lifetime’.
