Tour Overview

This November sees the return of the UK’s most popular classical music show, the Classical Spectacular, at the magnificent Royal Albert Hall. Enjoy an evening of all your favourite classical music such as Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory and Elgar’s Nimrod being performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, choirs and soloists, the British Imperial Military Band plus the muskets and cannons of the Moscow Militia. The multi-coloured light and laser displays plus the famous finale to the music of the 1812 Overture with thundering cannons and indoor fireworks is a spectacle that is guaranteed to raise the roof!

We’ll also enjoy some free time in England’s buzzing capital where you can explore this exciting city at your leisure.

Itinerary

Rail

Day 1: Take the train to London from your local station. Spend the day at your leisure and check in to your hotel in the afternoon for your first night’s stay.

Day 2: Start the day with breakfast at the hotel, then your time is your own to explore London. From the Houses of Parliament to Nelson’s Column and the London Eye, there are many iconic landmarks to admire. Alternatively, head to Oxford Street for a spot of retail therapy or simply take a stroll through Hyde Park, one of the capital's eight Royal Parks – there is no shortage of options for things to do. Later, enjoy the evening performance at the Royal Albert Hall, and then return to the hotel after the show for your second night’s stay.

Day 3: Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, before more time at leisure. Then make your way to the station for your train home.

*You may have to pay a supplement for your area, and first class is offered from most stations.

The Northern Lights tour was...

11-Feb-2024

The Northern Lights tour was very disappointing. Whilst I appreciate seeing the lights isn't guaranteed, the overall experience was poor. Hotel presentation was amateur, too long and could have been done beforehand rather than awkwardly near to the airport. The flight was 45minutes delayed because of catering. Food was not needed on a 3.5hour flight (sandwiches were served at 11pm...) and this delay - coupled with the delay on landing for the doors not being able to be opened - caused us to miss the last train out of Gatwick and so we had to spend £80 on a taxi home. The designation for seats was also poor, with some people allowed to book two window seats, meaning both members of a party got the extra view on the way up and down, whereas those in middle or aisle seats had only limited time during the 'rotations.' All in all, this was felt like an amateurish run tour with an unsuccessful trip. The only saving grace was the astronomer host, who was excellent.

Don't use this laughable company...

23-Jun-2024

Don't use this laughable company where the drivers don't inform the passengers where to get off in London, therefore the west end shows that we're booked were missed. Who sends coaches out when the microphone is broken. This company does. I reiterate DONT use Omega as they are very poor.

Sorry to write a bad...

19-Jun-2020

Sorry to write a bad review for a small business, but due to COVID, my trip was cancelled. I've tried to get a refund, as I'm entitled to by law. Firstly I was told for weeks that no refunds would be given, then I was told that I could have a refund but they didn't have the cash right now (join the club) and 3 months later I still don't have my refund. I wouldn't book again because my trust has completely gone. I shouldn't have to wait until they have the money for the refund, the money shouldn't be spent until the trip has taken place. These are challenging times and the way businesses handle their affairs is going to be make or break for the future. I support smaller businesses wherever I can, but this has put me off.

Rubbish, omega staff took well over £1,800 for 4 travel tickets and we didn't get anything for our money. Police are dealing with it now.

Northern Lights trip from Gatwick...

17-Jan-2022

Northern Lights trip from Gatwick on 5th November 2021. Booked three seats for comfort and social distancing and paid extra to do so. This was not offered and another person enjoyed our third seat for the duration of the trip. Getting a refund is nigh on impossible and I have been in correspondence with Omega since 9th November 2021 with various excuses including it takes 6/8 weeks for refunds to be authorised. I have now received a reply (17th January 2022) stating that the flight was overbooked ? and I would get my refund in (wait for it) 6/8 weeks ! I have contacted Trading Standards and they tell me refunds should be offered within 28 days/or 14 days if you paid by card they have noted my complaint. This company is a joke so stay well away my personal opinion is that they are using customers funds to keep trading and have a cash flow problem.
