Discovering the European
Narrative & Europe’s Roots
in Cultural Travel

Willkommen bei “The Connoisseur”

Walter Hagg

The Connoisseur tours are exclusive study trips in Europe aimed at simultaneously discovering, deepening and enjoying the treasures of European culture from all eras.

Starting with antiquity also allows insights into even earlier times,just as it takes us up to the present day and allows us to grasp the European narrative.

This narrative, which is so important for our hotly debated identity today!

Ambassador (ret.) Dr. Walter Hagg and his wife Aglaë accompany and connect their friends from different parts of the world.

Culturae Europeae Delectatio!

We are all back and filled with joy and amazing memories. 4 tours in Sicily (2022 and 2023), Around the Vesuvius (2024), Naples city (2025) we now turn to the North of Italy.

As always, the starting point for each topic is the world of ancient Greece – Walter and Aglaë remain true to their approach as they fine-tune the program.
