Tour Overview

Inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s novel, Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company. With sparkling writing by Dennis Kelly and outstanding songs by the celebrated composer and lyricist Tim Minchin, the musical adds a new dimension to this family favourite. Original songs, creative sets, an extraordinary cast and phenomenal choreography combine to create a triumph which revels in the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination.

Recipient of over 90 international awards, Matilda The Musical tells the story of an incredibly intelligent young girl who dares to change her destiny, even if it means being a little bit naughty! All of the recognisable scenes from Dahl’s brilliant novel remain, from Amanda being whizzed across the stage by her pigtails to Bruce being made to eat a giant chocolate cake. Witty and exuberant, this musical truly sets Dahl’s tale alight to produce what The Sunday Times calls ‘the stand-out musical of the decade’!

Itinerary

Day 1: From a morning pickup in your local area we travel by coach to our hotel. After check-in and some time to relax we continue on to London's theatre district, where there’s time to find somewhere for dinner before the evening theatre performance. After the show, the coach takes us back to our hotel for our overnight stay.

Day 2: After breakfast, we head back into London for some free time to shop or see the sights. From a trip on the London Eye, to a spot of shopping on Oxford Street or a stroll through Hyde Park – there is plenty to do. We set off for home in the mid-afternoon.

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.

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.
