London done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Recommended.
London done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it.
London done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would send friends their way.
The British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern and Britain, the V&A, the Natural History and Science Museums — all free, permanent collections. Only special exhibitions charge. It is the single best thing about visiting London.
