    "It is necessary to ask a teacher to visit the British Museum. The 2-hour explanation booked on the platform of Trip.com was very good. The explanation was vivid and smooth and meticulous, and the time was also more than an hour."

    "Buckingham Palace and stables are worth seeing. Go to the stables first and enter directly with the confirmed parts made by appointment. After watching the stables, go to the entrance of Buckingham Palace and wait. At the time, someone will see the confirmation and form a team. They will take them in and don't need to queue up by themselves. It's very fast."

    "A ride on the London Eye is a must-do experience when visiting the city. This giant Ferris wheel offers stunning, 360-degree views of London’s most famous landmarks. As we slowly ascended in the spacious glass capsule, we were treated to unparalleled sights of the River Thames, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and even as far as St. Paul’s Cathedral.The experience was smooth and relaxing, lasting around 30 minutes, giving us plenty of time to soak in the scenery and capture incredible photos. The staff were friendly, and the boarding process was efficient, making the entire experience seamless. For an extra special treat, we opted for a sunset ride, which provided magical views of London illuminated by the golden hour.Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, the London Eye offers a fantastic way to see the city from above. It's an iconic and memorable experience!"

    "Very good experience. Book the latest cruise ship on the same day, the ship provides Western dinner, while watching the scenery on both sides of the Straits, while tasting delicious, there are singer performances in the seats. The seats are randomly arranged, but there are generally two people by the window, and there are more than three or four people in the middle. Our boat was just a group of Chinese tourists, a wave of Indian or relatives brought by the waiter, others were Europeans and Americans, two hours ago, the tourists were still not enough to dance, the boat was reluctant to dock. Western food tastes good, but unfortunately the appetite is too small, dessert can not be eaten."
