Travel For The Arts

General information

Travel for the Arts was established in 1988, to arrange tours for the Friends of Covent Garden, and now arranges over 100 tours a year, as a part of Specialised Travel Ltd.

Our tours allow opera, music and ballet lovers to sample the delights of carefully selected performances and productions all over the world. Performances, hotels and sightseeing programmes are meticulously chosen and in many cases include tickets which are in great demand, for musical events which are otherwise sold-out, and which often feature the star performers of the day.

Groups rarely exceed 25 in number, are accompanied by knowledgeable tour managers - and in some cases, lecturers - and visit some of the most renowned sites of interest.

'All our air holidays and flights are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. We are members of ABTA, the Association of British Travel Agents. We are annually vetted as a member of these associations, ensuring that we maintain our high standard of service.

Travel for the Arts endeavours to ensure that all clients receive the most detailed care and attention, throughout the booking process and during the tour itself. We pride ourselves on the quality of our service and are grateful that it is reflected in feedback from you, with 98% of our clients who say their holiday satisfaction is either good or excellent. More importantly, many vote with their feet: three out of four of our travellers are returning clients and their friends. We encourage feedback from you, and this is not confined to returning from your holiday.
