Behind the Scenes at London’s Royal Ballet & Opera 2026

Overview

Join us for a thrilling 3-day tour of London’s West End to visit the vibrant Covent Garden area. A wonderful highlight is a ‘behind the scenes’ at the world-famous Royal Opera House as well as the fascinating London Transport Museum, for a historical look at all modes of city transport. We’ll also have time to explore ourselves for all important shopping and soaking up the atmosphere.

Natalie says…
The Royal Opera House tour guide keeps your experience at the forefront of their mind, deviating from the planned tour so you don’t miss a glimpse of a rehearsal if it’s nearby. It was spectacular and I’d bet that no two tours are the same!
