What Visitors Say
Went to a corporate event at the stadium which included a tour. I was expecting just a short walk around the stadium, but I was very wrong. A wonderful tour with a deep history and some amazing insights about the stadium and England Rugby.
Fantastic tour. Our tour guide John presented the tour extremely well and was very knowledgeable. I went as part of a stag-do and not overly a rugby fan, I still found it very very interesting and enjoyed the 75 minute tour. My only gripe was the rugby shop could do with selling cold drinks. It was a warm day and after I could have done with a cold drink as there isn't a shop right outside the stadium. Enjoyable and informative would happily go again as I'm not good at retaining information. But take a drink with you is the only thing I would suggest.
Fab way to spend an afternoon. We booked 1pm tour during school holidays and had an approx 2hr tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Ivan). Plenty of parking available. Station is approx 15-20min walk. Museum was surprisingly big with interactive games/activities too, so plenty to keep you occupied. Great for all ages and a fab family day out.
What a great stadium tour, so much history to see as well as a true modern rugby stadium. Iconic does not come close.
Really enjoyable Stadium Tour. Our Tour Guide (Neil) was very cheerful and informative during the tour. Access to the stands, Royal Box, Changing rooms and Boardroom, plus access to the pitchside via the player's tunnel. The Museum was a great experience. Plenty of history and displays, plus you can have a go at the scrum machine and the virtual reality goalkicking game. Enjoyable time was had.
