Five star experience!

We had a great time exploring Southampton with Explorial. Definitely *****! This is the third Explorial we have done, all were excellent, ***** for all.

Operator response

Three Explorials and still coming back for more — that kind of loyalty means alot to us, Paula. Southampton's an easy one to fall for, and we're chuffed it held its own next to the two that came before. Thank you so much for sticking with us the whole way through. There are plenty more citys on the map for whenever number four starts calling. Your Explorial Team

Beautiful walk

Absolutely loved all of the history we learned. However, the Art Museum was closed for renovation and the Titanic exhibit has closed for the day by the time we got there.

Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.
