It was great to be able to go on stage and look out into the theatre and to see the plans for new additions to the tour.
Todo muy bien
Marcus could not have been nicer, very informative, took his time explaining interesting facts, didn't rush us. we were a cosy group of 3 visitors. I found the tour very informative. thank you Marcus! Andy
Unbelievably interesting! Great guide/beautiful and interesting structure and history!
Marcus was knowledgeable and an amazing tour guide. It was awesome to do something so unique. Highly recommend this quick and educational tour!
Our guide was terrific, knowledgeable, pleasant, he listened to our questions and answered appropriately. A fantastic tour!
This is such an interesting and informative tour. Highly recommend especially if you’re partial to the arts world but also very interesting and possibly inspiring if you’ve never been a theatre or music goer!
This was simply amazing! Vee was our tour guide and as it was only a small group gave us extra time in the music experience areas which were a great addition as I wasn’t expecting these. The theatre itself is just amazing and really spectacular, I would say it’s more grand than majority of the London theatres, just breathtaking as you go into the main lobby. Best of the tour was you actually get to go all the way upto the orchestra pit AND onto the stage!!! Which you never ever get to do. This was a highlight for me seeing the stage from the performers view. Definitely a must do your for anyone who loves theatre, performing arts or general history and architecture.
