Almost half outside because 22h30 arrived so no more dish . we had neither cheese nor dessert even asking Staff drinking beers which shocked my son and no one came to rid us of a plate which is annoying in an all you can eat restaurant. And finally, lights out. And I've never seen you leave your ID card to smoke.
We went to eat there today ,the waiter who attended us very nice but his partner the tall very edge and rude does not know how to attend the customer when it came to collecting had overcharged us in the letter puts one and you are charged another amount ask him kind and he answers me very badly , I do the calculations that it was not needed or calculator and he gets very cool I ask for the ticket and it starts with you see that I do not know how many...😡 I have not stayed to argue because it is not my character, I left and without the change 😡careful if you pass through there because we sure did not even happen
Our tour guide was awesome. Took time to answer questions, was very knowledgeable and I was never bored. It was a small sized group which made for a more intimate setting. We saw lots and had time to take pictures and didn’t have to walk too fast. Would highly recommend
My husband and I recently went to visit HMS Belfast. As my husband had served on her in 1959 he was so excited to be there. Whilst exploring the ship we met one of the volunteer guides Abdul who took us on a wonderful tour. My husband got to see his old mess and found the actual bunk he slept on. He also got to sit in his gun turret. We had a wonderful day and can't praise Abdul enough.
