The tour can be taken before or after your lunch but for the best experience, the Royal Albert Hall recommends that you take the tour first.
We recommend you book at least four weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. All bookings are subject to availability.
You should allow approximately 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes for the whole experience.
Please note - the restaurant is not yet open for lunches, however customers with tour and lunch vouchers can now book their package slightly later in the day. This will mean that the catering element will become an early supper rather than a lunch. The offering is the same in terms of a tour followed by a three-course meal and a glass of wine; however, the experience will begin with a tour at either 15.30 or 16.00, followed by the meal at 16.30 or 17.00.

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover. You will not be liable for accidental damage to equipment, except where damage has been caused as a result of recklessness or wilful negligence.

Perfect visit
Our tour was brilliant and led by Alex was one of the best tours I have ever done. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the place. It was followed by an amazing lunch although we did have to point out that we were entitled to wine with it

Royal Albert Hall Tour and Meal
From start to finish it was a lovely day. Professional staff, nothing too much trouble and the knowledge of the tour guide was excellent. The 3 course meal afterwards was a delight and the staff were lovely. Faultless. Can't rate this high enough. If you want to buy someone a fantastic gift choose this.

Great Tour
I switched to this day from the theatre and meal experience, as the choice of shows covered by that experience was VERY limited. We had a lovely day though at the Royal Albert Hall, our tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable and had a sense of humour as well. Had a very relaxing lunch with lovely food. On the whole a very good experience.

Interesting and informative
Having never visited the RAH we found the tour very interesting and informative. It covered quite a lot of the history behind the building and its use, bringing you right up to date on events etc. Interesting to draw parallels with the tv series Victoria! The lunch in Verdi’s was excellent, limited choice but really tasty and well presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The Albert Memorial is also worth a visit being outside the RAH.

Great tour and lunch
Our tour guide was Alice and she was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were lucky enough to see the police choir practising for their evening performance and their rendition of the National Anthem I found very emotional. The tour lasted an hour and then we had a fabulous meal in their Italian Verdi restaurant, 3 courses with wine and beer. Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend the whole experience.

Fantastic Experience
A great Day, enjoyed the tour with a very good guide in a group of less then 20, which made it easy to follow and was very informative, the Albert Hall is a real Icon and a pleasure to walk around. Lunch in the Verdi restaurant afterwards was also excellent, 3 choices for each course and the food was delicious in a very nice atmosphere & setting.
