Emirates Tour

As a lifelong Arsenal fan this tour turned out to be the perfect Fathers Day gift. The process of submitting the code, getting the audio guide and starting the tour was very quick. Our first view of the pitch and stadium was incredible. All the staff at the ground were helpful and chatty. Highlights were walking through the tunnel on to the pitch, seeing the changing rooms and dreaming that we could afford to watch a match from the diamond lounge. Perfect.

Fantastic show

My friends bought me a theatre voucher for my 60th birthday. Although the choice of shows is limited, there were plenty that we wanted to see. The main problem was that we can only go to London on Saturdays and, as you would expect, most of the shows were sold out. The price to upgrade to extend the tickets was crazy so in the end we plumped for Wicked as it was the only show with seats available. Similarly the only seats you could buy with the voucher we had were literally the furthest possible from the stage, and again the price to upgrade was crazy. However we could still see and definitely hear everything. The show itself was incredible- the theatre front of house staff were all lovely and very welcoming and the show was phenomenal. A fantastic gift!!

The best afternoon tea I've had in a very long time.

The food during the afternoon tea was different. No boring sandwiches here. The savouries were amazing, all with so many fancy elements, and the cakes were beautiful. I really thought I was on Masterchef the Professionals - except these were better. Shout out to the chefs, and also to Yara our very friendly and attentive waitress. A really lovely experience all round and we will be back.

Good saving, beautiful place

Quick and easy process to buy the voucher as a gift. Once at the venue they processed it quickly with no issues. Lovely place to visit whether for the morning or enough to keep you exploring for the whole day if you have time.

Gorgeous hotel in lovely grounds

Had a fantastic two night stay at the Mercure The Grange in Bristol. Booked with our voucher that I got as a birthday present. The staff are lovely and friendly and it was great we could take our little dog and dine with her in the bar or lounge area. Breakfast was really good, replenished quickly and everything was hot. Great choice too. The evening menu was nice too.
