Glen, The Art Tour Guide in his studio
Many thanks, again, for a wonderfully planned and executed trip! Your terrific choices of activities and locations, and your wonderful, patient presence were the perfect “glue” to hold our group together and keep us focused and having fun. Barbara, who has been going on JRACraft trips for decades, said this trip ranks at the top. From the dozen or so national and international JRACraft trips I’ve attended, I have to agree. Thanks, Rebecca

He deliver tours that are well balanced, interesting and meticulously organised giving a relaxed and seamless experience. Our recent three day visit to Wellington was jammed with a stimulating mix of artist studio visits, dealer and public galleries and private collections. We look forward to our next tour with Glen.
