Very informative and enjoyable.
Tony was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the tour, which was very informative and interesting. He covered all aspects of the hall, from it’s history to the range of current activities and functions. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and thanks again to Tony for making it so memorable.

Top Marks to Tony!
Our guide gave us a fascinating wealth of stories about the Hall and its people. He explained how much more goes on in and surprisingly under the Hall these days. The Royal box and anteroom and it’s chairs were an insight but the many performance rooms in the outer sections of the building gave a glimpse of the many artists who played the Albert Hall, sometimes for their first live performances. Top Marks to Tony and the Virgin Experience Tour- we loved it. Can’t wait to attend an event there.

Wonderful Tour
Having visited the RAH many times for concerts I was therefore pleased to receive the tour gift. Our guide was Ruth who was excellent, bringing the history to life, being full of knowledge about the building and the history and background in respect of its construction. This tour is for the fit as there are plenty of stairs and not one you could rush. It was amazing to have many things pointed out that I have just walked past on many occasions but am fully aware now!

Royal Albert Hall tour
On one of the wettest days of the year it was a welcome surprise to get a discount in the cafe of the Albert Hall by showing our experience voucher. We were greeted on time by our guide who turned out to be very informative, telling us endless snippets of history about the venue and general area of London. Very little walking was needed as we used several lifts to reach all areas. Sitting in one of the boxes was my highlight and I would definitely recommend this tour to any visitor to London.

Brilliant experience
A very informative and interesting tour giving a full history of the building and it performers. We were given time to listen to the London Philharmonic orchestra who were rehearsing for the evening proms concert as well as being taken to the gallery where we had an excellent view of the auditorium. We were then shown where the royal family enter the building and the queen's private room and the royal box. The tour concluded with a short film. Our guide made it a wonderful experience.

Royal Albert Hall Tour
This was a very good tour. Our guide (Eileen) was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient and was a superb host. We were taken into areas not usually open to the public (Royal Box) which made the tour a bit more special. Lasts around an hour so not too long and would definitely recommend it.

An Excellent Present
I was given this experience as a Birthday present. I had been to The Royal Albert Hall for Annual Meetings of the NFWI so was thrilled to learn its history and tour it when empty of people. On this occasion the BBC was preparing for a Proms concert in the evening which enhanced the whole experience. We also had an excellent guide who gave us plenty of time to take in all that he told us.

Fantastic Tour
We recently had a tour of the Royal Albert Hall and it was fantastic. The guide that we had was excellent, very informative and knowledgeable. How he managed to keep so many names, dates and facts in his head is a miracle!! The building itself is marvelous and so big! The tour even took in the Royal Box and other boxes but did not take us down to the stalls area. Almost all of the tour was from balcony levels looking down onto the stalls area and the stage. Well worth doing, would recommend it.

I went on the tour because we couldn't get the tickets we wanted for the show and we were only visiting for two days. We both found the history very interesting and the tour guide was very enthusiastic and engaging. As a result we actually bought different tickets and enjoyed a thoroughly jaw dropping show! Will recommend, definitely.

Thoroughly enjoyed this most informative enjoyable tour gaining knowledge of the fantastic venue. The guide was brilliant (Louise) with so much information, articulated in a most professional, but friendly manner. Was a really enjoyable present! The only minor disappointment was there was not a history book of the hall in the gift shop!

Best tour event ever
We were lucky to hear had the best tour guide ever. A lady called Gaynor and to make the tour even better there was just me and my partner. The guides knowledge was fantastic. She explained so much in detail of the Royal Albert Hall.. she took us at our pace and answered any questions We got to see the Royal box, the theatre and the Royal staircase too.. The Royal Albert Hall has so much to offer. The experience was realky good, the time was changed due to another party
