Ultimate Time Together Experiences for Two

Excellent experience - couldn't be better
Kevin, out guide gave us an informative tour, giving us an absorbing insight into how the products (Triumph motorcycles) were created, designed, manufactured, assembled and distributed through the UK, Europe and in many countries across the world. He imparted detailed knowledge yet kept the group entertained with anecdotes and answered questions from the group fully and with good humour. We received a most stimulating description of how Triumph takes great care to produce high-quality motorcycles. The factory and warehouse were spotlessly clean, well-organised, and with an accent of safety for visitors and staff. The machinery was modern, with a well-controlled production process, through the use of digital provision of guides for workers on the factory floor, and recording of each step in the process. In addition, the reception space housed a vast range of Triumph motorcyles - road bikes as well as trials/scramblers - stretching back to the first motorcycle in 1902, and including a number of racing bikes, record-breakers, and bikes used in films, and ridden by celebrities. There were also Moto 2 bikes, and various new battery-electric models in addition to the ICE bikes. In addition, there was a pleasant cafe for a drink and a snack, and a well-stocked gift shop. I would say that our group was impressed by a set-up which was beyond what we might have expected. A rewarding visit, and worth a re-visit with friends.

awesome show
I watched the film Moulin Rouge and I found it boring but this one was fabulous and I recommend totally. The only incident was when during the break in the foyer somebody scanned my husband's credit card details but it's sorted. Scammers are everywhere even in posh places
