This was an excellent selection. Chef "Uncle" was very knowledgable and told us a lot about the history and regions that the tapas came from. We prepared 6 dishes, all of which could be prepared at home. Tortilla de patatas, Chorizo al la sidra, Gambas al ajillo, Crema catalana, Patatas bravas, and Tomato bread. The facility was clean and neat, and the Chef made sure that everything ran according to plan. A must if you're interested in cooking tapas

Paula was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable and natural during the shoot, and her attention to detail was incredible. Every photo came out beautiful — she captured genuine moments, emotions, and memories perfectly. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. You can truly tell she’s passionate about photography and cares deeply about her clients. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, patient, and delivers stunning results, I highly recommend Paula. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and will definitely book her again!

Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

I purchased the MTR Tourist Day Pass for my kids and it was a great decision. The pass made traveling around Hong Kong simple and stress‑free, and it saved us money compared to buying single tickets for every ride. My sons were able to explore more places without worrying about fares, which made their trip more enjoyable and fun.

It was easy to locate though I got confused if it was the same train as the one on the tv is different but confirmed it with the customer service in the train station. the train itself is great with table and wifi so I was able to work for 4 hours before sleeping.

A rail pass is truly excellent, especially during discount seasons. If your general itinerary is set, a pass valid for several trips within a month is very convenient. Additionally, once you factor in the TGV reservation fee, it's almost the same as the original price, but it's still more cost-effective than booking at the last minute.

What to know before visiting Madrid

Madrid at a glance: culture, history and lively tours

Madrid’s Klook bookings concentrate on museums, historical sites and guided tours, with events and attraction passes also popular. Demand peaks in January and dips through late summer, giving the city a year-round rhythm that suits both culture-seekers and flexible daytrippers.

Best time to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, demand is highest in January and lowest in August. Prices follow a similar pattern: August typically shows the lowest activity-ticket prices, while November is usually the priciest. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider visiting in August; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere with more events and openings, plan for January or November. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together here, so busier months tend to be more expensive.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book experiences only a few days ahead—typical bookings happen about three days in advance, with last-minute options often available a day before. If you travel spontaneously you can still secure museums and short tours on short notice, but for popular events or shows during January and November it helps to plan a bit earlier. Use Klook to compare available dates and lock in tickets once you’ve decided.
