Having a great 10 days stay. A safe place to move around even during late night. Very accessible and easy to travel around with the public transport. Students moving in for their unis freshers week makes the area lively. People here are friendly and helpful. Food wise is great and at a reasonable price. House keeping staff - Olesia is friendly and have help keep our room clean and tidy at all time. Great job.

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!

Our driver and tour guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable and drove both safely and quickly. The scenery was also enchanting, and we were told that our group was lucky to have seen everything we were supposed to see. The shopkeepers and residents we encountered were also very friendly.

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.

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.
