What an incredible show from start to finish. The history and context behind the show mixed in with r&b and hip hop music have it such a unique blend. Not only that, the story telling behind it all was amazing. We sat in the second row, and it was a lovely experience to be up close to the characters and stage, the decor and props were beautiful to look that. I'd highly recommend giving this show a watch, it's funny, interesting and has a great plot twist!

We arrived in the rain and the guides were super friendly and let us in early. It's exciting to be inside, the views are incredible, and knowing you're inside such an engineering and historical marvel was thrilling. Highly recommended! The best part is the glass floor! Exciting!

Visiting the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London was a great experience overall. The jewels themselves are impressive and well displayed, though it can get quite crowded at times. A real highlight was the free Yeoman Warder tour — it was entertaining, informative, and added a lot of context to the history of the Tower. Definitely worth doing and made the visit even better. Overall, a memorable stop in London.

Easy and quick entry with online tickets, and the monument was absolutely breathtaking. The audio guided tour was excellent and we loved seeing the history that dates back so far! The views from the stone gateway were amazing!

Kee, our driver cum guide shared interesting insights and stories to keep us engaged along the way. The coach was comfortable and the mini snack hamper provided was perfect for an early 8:30 am start. There was enough time to explore Stonehenge and the museum, so we didn't feel rushed. Once we reached, Kee gave clear instructions on things to do and departure time. I highly recommend this trip if you are looking for a half day trip from London to Stonehenge.
