“I will only use Lingo Tours from now on. This was
an amazing tour!“
~ STEVEN, TEACHER, USA
The world is full of interesting things and here are some facts about some of the fascinating places
you will visit on tour that you may not have known.
THE WEST END – LONDON
It is believed that the very first theatre in
London was opened in 1576 and was simply
named The Theatre. However, the first theatre
in the area now known as the West End was the
Theatre Royal, which was opened in 1663. The
longest running musical in the West End is Les
Misérables, which opened in September 1985. It
has run continuously ever since, overtaking
Cats as the longest running production in 2006
MONA LISA – PARIS
Did you know that the Mona Lisa once was
stolen from the Louvre by one of the staff
members in 1911? For two years it was gone
and Police were so baffled they started
questioning art experts. Even Pablo Picasso
was taken in for interrogation. The painting
reappeared two years later in Italy and the
thief was sent to prison.
MURANO GLASS – VENICE
In 1291, the Venice government banned the
furnaces from central Venice and moved them
instead to the island of Murano. This was due to
the fear of fire in the wooden structures of a
crowded Venice and also to isolate the master
glassblowers to prevent their sharing of valuable
glassmaking secrets. The glassblowers became
virtual prisoners on Murano, where the penalties
for divulging glassblowing secrets could include
death.
DID YOU KNOW?
“You never have to worry about anything.
Everything is well taken care of, the only thing
I had to do was enjoy my trip.”
