Habsburg Heritage Cultural Tours ceased trading in 2020, following the death from Covid 19 on 10 April 2020 of Robert Avery.

Robert was the heart and soul of Habsburg Heritage, and it was his knowledge and personality which drove it.

Music, art, architecture and culture were his overriding passions, and the opportunity to share these, in good company, in beautiful settings, with fine food and wine, was his enormous pleasure and privilege.

The high proportion of clients who returned again and again showed that we met a real need for the discerning cultural traveller.

Robert and Jane Avery founded the company in 1990 and there were many memorable holidays over 30 years including :

Aix en Provence Opera Festival
