The company
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 division of Specialised Travel Ltd.
We arrange small group tours featuring selected performances of opera, ballet and classical music, and à la Carte itineraries for the independent traveller. Our portfolio of destinations expands annually, introducing lesser-known theatres and performances whilst continuing to visit the traditional favourites.
The team
Travel for the Arts is staffed by a team of specialists with a wealth of experience in travel, music and the arts, who are involved in the planning of every tour from conception to operation. Our team regularly travel as tour managers on a selection of our tours to ensure that we maintain our knowledge of each destination.
