tina turner theatre weekend break
OK, its mostly good with a couple of gripes that we could have probably avoided, originally we booked to be collected from our local bus station, we then received confirmation saying we could not be collected from our preferred option and while the alternative was not a major issue upon seeing the other collection points that we visited our original choice should not have been an issue, our initial error was not reading the new paperwork correctly and presuming that we would be collected from Telford bus station as opposed to Wellington bus station, we were in fact collected from the railway station where the coach was forced to do the collection parked on double yellow lines, again I have should have checked the itinerary because the journey to London involved collections from kidderminster, worcester, cheltenham and Swindon before eventually going on to the London hotel a total for us of 5 1/2 hours on the coach with a 30 minute comfort break, now i appreciate the need to fill the coach but upon reflection and fortunately some humour i think that 5 1/2 hours each way is a bit much for a London theatre break over two days given that certainly the detour to Swindon involved picking up 2 people, again i reiterate that Omega never mislead us at any time the itinerary was clearly stated on the final paperwork we received but i presumed we would collect from possibly Wolverhampton and birmingham and make our way down the m40 given the hotel was at heathrow so i never actually looked at the route until we were on the coach, fortunately our driver Ian was superb offering good natured humour with an immense knowledge of London that kept us entertained and alert, the hotel at heathrow was good and the breakfast excellent, and the show very good even though the seats were uncomfortable (not omegas fault) , so for others looking to book this weekend if you dont want to spend 11 hours on a coach check the itinerary well before you leave, maybe we were unlucky given this weekend was possibly difficult for them to fill a coach, or maybe you would like a tour of the m5 corridor given we were nearer to Bristol at one point of our journey. bristol to London is around 115 miles Telford our starting point is 150 miles we had been on the coach 4 hours and still had a 100 miles to travel to our hotel, I hope this makes some sense, but overall we had a great weekend, would I do it again? not without checking the itinerary :)
London Summer Days August 2018
Enjoyed this break very much (have done it before). The Tower Hotel is excellent - wonderful location, very comfortable room with river view, excellent very helpful staff, and the best value cream tea in London (not one freshly baked scone but four!) The tour was very good value. One caveat: the excursion to Windsor didn't work time-wise. The driver was unavoidably delayed getting to the hotel due to an accident, meaning we did not leave until 9.30am, reaching Windsor 11.45. The driver needed to leave again at 2.15 in order to go to Henley as planned. This was nowhere near enough time in Windsor. I stayed in Windsor until mid-afternoon and returned to London by train. For this excursion to work allowing for traffic and journey time , it needs to leave the hotel at 8am (not 9am) (which still allows time for an early breakfast). There is not enough time in one day to visit two places. Windsor needs at least 4 hours: there is no point in being there without enough time to see the castle or the town properly. Even having booked my ticket for the castle on-line it still takes some time to go through security. Otherwise, enjoyed the trip.

Northern Lights tour booking
I recently booked a tour to see the Northern Lights and it was absolutely fantastic! Being a solo traveller, I had to pay a bit extra, but the agent I dealt with was really lovely and took the time to explain everything to me. It did take a while to confirm my booking because the hotel had no single rooms available, which did make me a bit anxious about missing out on the trip. However, after a week, they called me back and I was able to secure my spot. The whole booking process was really good, the staff were all so friendly and helpful, and they were able to answer all of my questions.
Texas Eclipse trip review
The experience of watching the eclipse and attending the presentations before and after was really amazing. The main scientist did a great job in choosing the perfect spot and keeping an eye on the weather, which resulted in an incredible view of the eclipse. However, there were some big issues in other parts of the trip. We didn't have enough information about where to find bars and restaurants, which left us feeling unprepared. The first hotel had a bar and served small bar meals, but the second hotel didn't have any amenities like that, so we had to take an Uber to the nearest town for more dining options. Some parts of the trip, like the visit to the Post in Houston, felt a bit disorganised and there wasn't enough communication. The organisation by the rep wasn't great, as we only had one phone number for our group leader who we couldn't reach because of a broken phone. The meal arrangements at the second location for the eclipse were a bit last-minute, with basic food options and not much information given. It would have been better if we had known in advance so we could have planned better. Despite these problems, the eclipse itself was definitely the best part of the trip, even though there were some issues with organisation along the way.
Educational and engaging trip with great commentary
The trip was absolutely brilliant, in terms of learning and enjoyment. Our guide, Pete, was really well-informed and easy to listen to - he kept us entertained with his commentary the whole time. The owner, Peter, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel really looked after, giving the trip a personal touch. The whole experience was well-thought-out and perfectly carried out, leaving us feeling really content and excited to tell others about it.
London two day tour
Thank you for a brilliant two day trip my wife and I went to the winter wonderland and thought how good it was the 2 drivers we had... Kemal & Mike were a credit to Alpine Coaches who supplied the travel the Park inn hotel we stayed in was clean and comfortable Plenty of time to do shopping on the second day... Yes there were drop offs at different locations which for those people who got on first had a very long day going and coming back but we found it part of the enjoyable trip we will look forward to the next time we travel with omega
Tina Turner Musical
We hadn't realised until quite late on that we would be picked up at 5.30 am for a long drive along the south coast before arrival in London. We decided to drive direct to the hotel instead if I could obtain the tickets in advance. I contacted customer services and the girl could not have been more helpful. She arranged to have the tickets sent 1st class to us and phoned the following day to confirm this had been done. The hotel was basic but clean and quiet. Food was OK. And we very much enjoyed the show.
The Shard
On the 22ND we were picked up promptly at our pick up point, we had a good trip into London, the driver was very good and helpful, the only problem we had was that there were a couple of people who were not at their pickup point after their show, although the others managed to make it and so we were kept waiting quite a while, unfortunately the driver then had to go and leave them. But they only have themselves to blame. But all in all it. was an enjoyable weekend
Total Eclipse Package
The Total Eclipse Package provided by the company was absolutely amazing. The program they offered was really diverse and exciting, giving me the chance to see the total eclipse of the sun under a lovely clear sky. The level of organisation and attention to detail shown by the team, especially by the two blokes named Peter, was top-notch. Plus, the driver Alberto was an absolute legend, being so helpful and reliable all throughout the trip.
Moxy London Stratford Hotel stay for Mama Experience at O2
I stayed at the hotel for the Mama Experience at O2 event recently and I just have to say, it was absolutely lovely. The hotel's location was perfect for getting to the event, the rooms were nice and cosy, and the staff were super friendly and really helpful. The breakfast was top-notch, setting me up nicely for the day ahead.
Northern Lights flight experience
The Northern Lights flight experience was really well put together. But it was a shame that we didn't get to see the lights because of the bad weather. Even though we knew it might happen, everyone was clearly disappointed. The entire flight was well planned and went smoothly from start to finish.
London trip
My family and I had such a great time in London! The hotel was really close to the tube station and also had car parking, which was really helpful. We went to see an amazing show, like Cirque du Soleil, and our seats were fantastic - we had a perfect view of everything. Booking with Omega Travel was a breeze, they provided us with all the information and tickets we needed well in advance.
Eclipse Tour
Despite having a great time seeing the eclipse and checking out NASA, the whole tour wasn't up to scratch. The hotel in Houston was a letdown, with terrible breakfasts and below-average accommodation. It was also not great that the hotel in Waxahachie didn't have any facilities and left guests without any decent food options for miles around. When a food cart eventually turned up, it wasn't enough for everyone, plus they didn't really cater for specific dietary requirements. The itinerary was a bit of a mess, lacking important details and just left everyone feeling confused and annoyed. Even though the tour leader was nice, finding out it wasn't actually an Omega tour but a third-party one from Boston was pretty disappointing and made it seem a bit deceitful.
Weekend break package
The process of booking was pretty simple, but I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get all the information about the break until quite late. The driver knew how to handle the wheel, but wasn't very helpful when it came to giving us details about the itinerary times. When we got to the hotel, it was a bit of a disaster - the rooms weren't ready by the promised 4 pm check-in time, which caused chaos when three buses full of guests turned up. They didn't even say sorry for the mess. And to top it off, when we got back from the theatre trip, there was no food available. Not to mention, there weren't any leaflets for takeaway deliveries or vending machines around. On top of all that, the hotel was way too far from London for us, what a letdown.
Quick trip booking
I've just sorted out a trip over the phone. The person I spoke to was really nice and helpful, but there were some bits missing from the info they gave me. The booking only took about 10 minutes, but the email I got the next day was missing important stuff like how much baggage I can take and when the flights are. It's annoying to have to ask for basic details all over again.
Booking experience
I had a really good experience booking with that company recently. The staff were helpful and got things done quickly, even though I had to wait a bit on hold before talking to someone. Once I got through, booking my trip was a breeze. I got confirmation and a receipt sent to my email right away, and I could also see my booking in my online account. All in all, I was happy with the service I received.
Astronomy trip feedback
I was a bit gutted that we didn't get to check out the telescopes at the observatory or stargaze on our recent astronomy trip. It would have been nice to have an extra day after the eclipse to bond with everyone and maybe have a nice dinner before heading back the next day. The rushed schedule caused by the tight return flights really limited what we could do, so they should think about that for next time.
Amazing overnight break
I had an absolute blast with my mates! We stayed at this lovely hotel right next to the river and had a delicious breakfast. We all went to this amazing Mamma Mia party which was incredible - the food was delicious and the music was fantastic. The atmosphere was so great, it felt like we were actually in the movie!
