London West End and Royal Opera House Private Walking Tour (opens in a new tab)

3 h

A behind the scenes look at a famous London theatre can be an eye-opening experience. Most theatres in London are impressive from the outside but when you visit theatres such as Drury Lane, the National or the Royal Opera House, the scale inside is hugely impressive, with a hidden world of costume departments, scene-building and technical magic. This tour explores the backstage life of the Royal Opera House, where you will see preparation for the shows (they do 20 a year), including set-building and props-making. Each tour is different from the last and runs from Monday to Saturday exploring areas of the theatre not normally seen and immerses you in the glitz and glamour of a West End production. There can be a pre-theatre dinner in Covent Garden District to prepare for an unforgettable night of a magnificent West End musical where you will have a truly memorable experience watching global smash hit musicals such as Mamma Mia, Matilda, School of Rock and The Phantom of the Opera.

Full-Day Private Tour to Salisbury, Stonehenge and Woodhenge (opens in a new tab)

8 h

In this tour, we are aiming to give you more information about Stonehenge as well as Woodhenge in order to reveal the strong connection between two ancient sites. In the Neolithic period, some 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge evolved from a simple bank and a ditch into a very sophisticated rock circle on a midsummer sunrise axis. Stonehenge may have been an astronomical observatory or used in sacred, sun-like, or even death rituals. Salisbury might be one of the most beautiful heritage towns of England and only 20 minutes away from Stonehenge. It’s a jackpot to visit both destinations in English culture. Magnificent Salisbury Cathedral is surrounded by historical buildings and museums in the spectacular Cathedral Close. You will marvel at the magnificent Gothic architecture and explore this living church's past and present. You will also note that the 750th anniversary was in 2008 when you look at the best-preserved original Magna Carta. Get ready for a true Stonehenge experience with us!
