What travellers say
Booking the Hong Kong MTR ticket through Pelago was super easy and efficient. The QR code worked instantly at the gates, saving time and avoiding queues. Great value and super convenient for tourists exploring the city. Highly recommended!
This was a great offer to experience cable cars from Mnt Fraser down to Sentosa Island and back. The purchase and use of the tickets was a seamless experience. You have a (another) happy customer.
Every penny spent on tickets is worth it. The Bali Safari is an experience nobody should miss when they are in Bali. Booking through Pelago was easy and the advantage of booking earlier was slipping the queue. The zoo was very clean and everything was very well maintained. We had such a nice experience there.
