Opera and classical music lovers, rejoice! These tours were created especially for you. 

For discerning travellers who believe that great journeys should stir the soul as much as the senses, Hayllar Music Tours offers a rare kind of travel experience where every destination is accompanied by the finest opera and classical music, and guided by passionate, knowledgeable experts.

Founded in Australia in 2014, Hayllar Music Tours has earned a reputation for creating elegant, immersive itineraries that celebrate both cultural richness and musical excellence. Their curated tours combine performances at world-renowned venues, such as the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna State Opera, London’s Royal Opera House, or Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. With visits to historic landmarks, private recitals, and in-depth conversations with musicians and musicologists, it’s a connoisseur’s journey, tailored for those who appreciate life’s finer details.

Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of Bach through the cobbled lanes of Leipzig, experiencing Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle in Vienna or Berlin, or enjoying intimate chamber music in the rolling hills of the Austrian countryside, the experiences are personal, enriching and beautifully paced. Tours are hosted by specialist tour leaders, often music academics or former performers, all of whom bring context and warmth to every musical moment.

What sets Hayllar Music Tours apart is its commitment to depth and intimacy. Groups are kept deliberately small, encouraging camaraderie and conversation among like-minded travellers. Accommodation is luxurious yet welcoming, meals are shared in carefully selected local restaurants, and every detail — from securing the very best tickets to arranging out-of-hours guided tours of the world’s finest art galleries — is seamlessly arranged. In a world of hurried sightseeing, Hayllar Music Tours offers something truly rare: a chance to slow down, to listen deeply, and to travel meaningfully. Whether you’re a seasoned opera devotee or a curious newcomer to classical music, a journey with Hayllar will leave you inspired and uplifted.
