Charming, professional, experienced and learned... Roelie Hartwig, with over 15 years of international experience in the Montessori world, designs and leads all MT&T tours.
Our tours are developed in partnership with other agencies, and use knowledgeable, experienced and reliable local guides at each destination.
"It was a fantastic trip, very well organised and appreciated... really special to follow Montessori’s life, literally from house of birth to house of death.
I felt like I got to know her as a woman and as a person, as opposed to covering just the philosophy.
It was lovely to meet you and share that special trip with you." Danielle E, Canada.
