The whole experience was great, really well organised. The afternoon tea was perfectly adequate in fact there were more than enough cakes supplied. The staff were really friendly despite having to work to a tight schedule. The river views were spectacular, made better by the brilliant sunshine and blue sky. Also, the unofficial guided tour of the the river views was done with humour which made it enjoyable. I would recommend it to friends and family.

What an amazing and unforgetable time. The staff from security to booking in a and our park rangers were all amazing and added to the whole experiance. The set up was amazing and felt like you was in the movie. Towards the end when we meet blue then the lights went out and red emergency light came on and t rex come out from the movements and sound it was so life like. Will be a day we will never forget thank you to all the staff also because of all of you and the team it was an experiance of a life time.

Loved the whole experience of being part of the audience, in the lovely Theatre Royal in Dury Lane. The costumes were fantastic. The dance routines were energetic, and the songs melodic. All participants gave their all to ensure you thoroughly enjoyed every scene, and left feeling really happy.

The London Eye provides an incrdible view of the city from Big Ben to the financial center. The space was very clean and there is a central bench to sit at if one needs a rest. Highly recommend!
