Traditional or trailblazing, ancient or abstract. Art and culture are woven into our fabric.
Art and culture can stun and amaze, comfort and transform. At NoteWorthy, we create journeys that capture this sense of wonder. That means going beyond simply wandering galleries or watching a performance. Instead, we take you backstage and behind closed doors, crafting luxury cultural tours that are immersive, inspiring and timeless.
Whether it’s the Louvre or Tate Modern, the Wallace Collection, the Musée D’Orsay or the National Gallery, London and Paris are the capitals of culture, home to some of the world’s greatest collections. On our luxury travel experiences for art lovers, we give guests a unique perspective: private pre-opening tours, scavenger hunts, sketching sessions, all carefully designed to bring masterpieces vividly to life.
We know that art is at its most powerful when it’s all encompassing: living, breathing, moving. With our guest’s approval, we make experiences interactive. Join a ceilidh, walk the boards, pick up a fiddle, knead sourdough, meet the makers, or capture the moment with a private photography tour. These are encounters that reveal the human stories behind the art.
Our luxury cultural tours are an opportunity to follow your personal passions. For example, we arranged for a Beatles fan to record a song at Abbey Road, using the very piano played by the band, followed by meetings with childhood friends of John, Paul, George and Ringo in London and Liverpool. A Beatle-maniac’s dream made real.
We believe art should be accessible and meaningful for all ages. Our dedicated Experience Designers craft luxury cultural experiences with hands-on opportunities for children, parents and grandparents alike. As NoteWorthy guests depart with lifelong memories, they also leave a legacy of support, preserving this proud cultural fabric for generations to come.
Our cultural journeys are led by guides who know how to inform and entertain. From scholars and musicians to artists and insiders, they are experts in their field, bringing culture to life with in-depth knowledge, originality and wit.
Like a work of art, our luxury cultural tours are always a one-off: finely crafted, deeply personal.
Step behind the scenes of the Palais Garnier and explore the hidden world that inspired The Phantom of the Opera. Trace the footsteps of wizards, hobbits and a certain girl called ‘Alice’ in a behind-the-ropes tour of Oxford University. Wander Monet’s gardens at Giverny with a private guide. Our team will create journeys that reflect your interests.
London is a hotbed of street art. This working studio experience, unique to NoteWorthy clients, invites you to unleash your inner Banksy. Under the guidance of a professional artist, you’ll create your own work, which we will ship to your home address as a lasting memento of your trip.
In Scotland, NoteWorthy promises a rare glimpse of living heritage. Step into a workshop on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, filled with wood shavings and unfinished instruments, to see how Scotland’s inimitable instrument is made before a private musical performance. Then watch the craftsmanship of clans at a family-run kilt makers, interwoven with fascinating stories.
One of London’s most iconic music venues, this experience invites you behind the stage of this Grade I Listed building. Peek inside the Royal Box, walk the boards where The Beatles, Beyoncé, Adele and Led Zeppelin have all performed, and even arrange your very own private headline act.
Fortnum & Mason is renowned for its exceptional quality and quintessentially British approach. This experience welcomes you inside one of London’s most iconic cookery schools, joining pastry experts for a true masterclass. Make sweet and savoury scones, before enjoying your creations (and much more) with a Fortnum & Mason high tea.
