Lucketts Travel uncovers ancient treasures in its latest day excursion brochure

Lucketts Travel is offering customers the chance to be among the first to see two of the most eagerly anticipated touring exhibitions ever to arrive in the UK.



Tickets to the First Emperor Exhibition and the Tutankhamun Exhibition are set to be among the hottest in town and Lucketts Travel says these day trips are among the fastest selling it has ever launched.



“Both of these exhibitions arrive in London later this year and are set to be once in a lifetime opportunities for people to see some of the most important archaeological treasures from China and Egypt,” said Ian Veness, product development manager, from Lucketts Travel.



“And the option of luxury coach travel, local pick up points and entrance tickets is really appealing to people in this region who want to see such exhibitions in London but don’t want the hassle of making their own arrangements, including securing the tickets and organising transport and parking in London.”



The British Museum’s First Emperor Exhibition features the largest number of the terracotta army of Xi’an seen outside of China. And just as spectacular is the Tutankhamun exhibition, at the O2 (previously the Millennium Dome) with the majority of the 130 objects in the exhibition never before been seen before in the UK.

As well as the two new shows, the Fareham-based company has planned day excursions to classics such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle – both celebrating the Queen’s diamond wedding anniversary - as well as London theatres, exhibitions, theme parks, historic houses and gardens, and popular markets.
