It was more than I expected. Weather was perfect and we could do all the rides and attractions without waiting. Maybe 5 min but not more. There was so clean. Toilets were perfectly cleaned. Bu we needed food and drinks so much. Lots of stores were closed. Maybe because of the season. I liled there so much. Thankyou

It's an ambitious tour because you visit three places in one day. That gives you the opportunity to see a lot in a short time, but the visits are very short and you're left wanting more. We also spend quite a bit of time on the bus, so you have to be mentally prepared for that. The destinations are wonderful, it's worth it!

My husband's birthday couldn't go unnoticed, and the best gift was the invitation to Windsor Castle. It was wonderful; we saw the chapel where Queen Elizabeth is buried, and I was very moved. We took many photos in the garden. It was a worthwhile experience.

I loved our tour guid she was absolutly amazing and brilliant. We got to learn so much of the history about these places with a lot of laughter in between. Everything was scheduled perfectly in the right order and so we had plenty of time and opportunities to go to the restroom and to have a snack or a drink. This was an amzing experience, thank you! I would definitly recomend!

The Garden were beautiful, even in winter. To be able to be indoors surrounded by majestic jungles of plants & varieties were impressive. I hope to be back from Australia this year 2026 in spring to return & see it all in bloom. My favourite glass house content was the Australian one, the smell when you first enter was beautiful & calming. The original glass houses are beautiful structures & shapes.

Great day out the green houses was beautiful , the tree top walk was fantastic and the grounds was amazing. Did not see the Japanese tower as it was close, so maybe a trip back again in the near future. 👍
