I visited the British Museum again after 10 years. I was lucky to meet Diana, a senior lecturer. She was elegant and intellectual. The teacher's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation made up for the regret of the previous rush. The 3-hour route planning was very reasonable, the explanation was vivid and interesting, the knowledge points were very rich, and the questions we raised were also answered well. It was very worthwhile and highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻

Stonehenge is worth seeing, the world heritage site is spectacular, the Oxford University campus is very relaxing, but we went to Windsor Castle a little late and didn't visit much.

This is the first to see opera in London. It is an invaluable experience.

Booking through Klook was seamless—tickets arrived within 10–15 minutes, and the same QR code granted access to both the Emirates Stadium tour and the match. The atmosphere was electric, with passionate fans cheering for both teams. The hospitality package included a meal and four drinks across three restaurants. However, there was some inconsistency: one restaurant informed us that hot drinks weren’t included and requested payment, while another allowed us to redeem them without issue. Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic. For any Arsenal fan visiting London, attending a match at the Emirates Stadium is a must-do experience.

I had so much fun on this trip that I found that I had lost a whole bag of souvenirs I bought at Stonehenge when I returned to Taiwan. I quickly contacted the tour guide & klook. Fortunately, the driver helped us pick it up and save it. Then the tour guide quickly sent it back to my family in the UK today. I am very grateful to the tour guide and driver for their enthusiastic help. I highly recommend such a trustworthy and great travel company👍
