I've always wanted to see inside the Royal Albert Hall having walked past it a few times. This activity gave me, my wife and eldest son an insight into the history and workings of this venue. With an ongoing show it was difficult at times to take photos, but this was more than made up by the guides expert guidance and insight. A thoroughly enjoyable hour.

Fabulous tour guide, Andy enhanced the experience. Very informative with a sense of humour. Loved the Royal Albert Hall, stunning history and design.

We had looked at something different to do while visiting London and decided to take this tour. It was fun and informative and with the bonus of an orchestra rehearsing we experienced what it would be like during a performance. Well worth the cost of the ticket and very enjoyable way of spending sone time. Our tour guide was Iran who was excellent. She was informative and fun and full of interesting facts about the history of the hall. She made the tour worth the money.
