It was my first VR experience. It was at times a little disorienting, but worth sticking it out as some of the visualisations were amazing. Some stuff was slightly blurred, and other stuff good. Overall an amazing experience. How they can make it seem so real is something I would not have thought possible 20 years ago. If you suffer from vertico take a walking stick to maintain your balance. Definitely recommend.

The experience was excellent. I did feel like I had briefly been in a foreign country. Only smellavision would have made it better. Oddly the sign posting to the event was very poor.Kim

I found that we were constantly worried about bumping into people. I have done another virtual experience but it was seated so you could focus on what you were watching, not who you were going to bump into.

Ticketing was simple and straightforward. The VR experience was brilliant! I often experience motion sickness but I was totally fine with the Khufu experience. Loved the history and facts and the zooming in and out at different scales. Never thought I'd be crawling on the floor lol! Was such a delight and so interesting.

The whole "trip" was very realistic with my partner very apprehensive with some steps into the "oblivion" . The tour was facinating but at times when our guide ( whether mona or bestus) was talking about a feature , the feature was hard to locate and therefore some of the imformation was lost Your next comment about adding photos to your review is the one sore point because there is no opporrunity to have a photo record of the "pryamid tour" except infront of an advertising poster in the reception area
