Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

Easy to use, just need to activate before you take the train and scan the QR code on the gate. Britrail pass is the solution for multi-city journey, as train can change schedule anytime or gone (no more that timing). Keep checking on the hanging screen to see whether your train change platform / change timing / gone

The whole trip was very comfortable, and this pass was a great value. I visited many cities in the UK and had a perfect vacation. I would definitely buy this pass again if I have the chance to come to the UK in the future.

The itinerary for the day was perfect! The tour guide was also the driver. He admitted that he had only been employed for two months and this was his first time leading a tour alone. But he performed superbly, explained clearly and vividly, and explained the history of Manchester clearly during the itinerary. He drove steadily, ensuring our safety throughout the journey, and always took care of everyone, constantly sharing all kinds of knowledge. I really like this tour guide, I have to give him 100 points, perfect! The scenery along the way was also beautiful, and the whole itinerary was impeccable, it was amazing.

I recently went on a day tour that included stops at Haworth and Grassington, and it was a truly memorable experience. Haworth, a charming vintage village famous for its connection to the Brontë sisters, was like stepping back in time with its cobbled streets, quaint shops, and historical atmosphere. Grassington was equally delightful – a picturesque town surrounded by beautiful countryside and blessed with lovely weather that day, making our visit even more enjoyable. The real highlight, though, was our tour guide. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we visited, but he also provided in-depth explanations about Manchester’s rich history, industry, and culture during our journey. His passion and storytelling made the bus rides feel like part of the tour rather than just transit. Overall, it was a well-organized and enriching experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a relaxing and informative day out.

It was amazing! I went to see the Champions League match against Napoli. The seats were mid-tier, providing a great overall view of the game. While it didn't have the same immersive feeling as pitch-side seats, the cushioned seating was very comfortable. The following day, I took the stadium tour, which was a thrilling experience, including the locker rooms, tunnel, and even the bench. Also, the UBER voucher was incredibly helpful. It stated that it was valid only for the match day, but it worked without any issues the next day. The 20 pounds per person was a considerable saving. The fact that the stadium tour was included in the price makes it a really great deal. I considered various secondary ticketing sites, but I'm so glad I booked through KLOOK. Manchester is blue!
