You’ll perform three evening concerts as part of a lively summer music festival. Your performances will take place at the town’s main seaside locations on specially constructed stages which all boast professional lighting and sound equipment. This is an exciting experience your ensemble will never forget!

After working in the Travel Industry for over 30 years I have had the great fortune to work in many destinations and visit some amazing places. Travel is not just an experience – it is memories & knowledge. I love having the opportunity to create those memories for our groups. – Sarah Newman Music Tours Operations Manager

Don't take our word for it …

The trip was well organised with some excellent excursions planned. All concert venues were suitable, and provided a good setting for our pefromances. The local rep was superb - incredibly helpful and enabled a smooth, worry-free itinerary throughout the four days spent in Prague. Our students had a wonderful time and so did the staff! I would highly recommend Prague as a fabulous tour destination for similar school groups. — Sir John Lawes School , July 2015
