Summary
Indeed, this is not a typographical error. Recently, I had the opportunity to explore a unique gifting service known as Tinggly. The premise behind Tinggly is that you can provide a gift for your loved ones without needing to determine the specific item.
This service is especially beneficial when purchasing gifts for relatives or friends who often struggle to articulate their desires (or if you find yourself uncertain about what to obtain for them).
With Tinggly, you secure an experience, enabling the recipient to select from a diverse array of experiences available globally. Such flexibility undoubtedly makes Tinggly an optimal choice for travelers.
On the day I selected this Tinggly gift, London enjoyed a prolonged period of splendid weather, prompting us to choose an experience that would showcase London at its finest – a visit to The Shard followed by lunch at a nearby restaurant.
A wide array of experiences is at your disposal – from volcano hiking and white-water rafting to helicopter tours and much more.
Before proceeding, I encourage you to view our mini-vlog documenting our Tinggly experience below…
Have you viewed it? Fantastic! As evidenced in the video, the weather had different plans for the day, but remaining true to the London spirit, we ventured out to The Shard regardless.
Whether raining or not, London remains an extraordinary city!
Moreover, the panoramic views of London from The Shard are among the most remarkable in the city!
This view vaguely resembles a Lego structure from this vantage point! 🙂
Ultimately, we proceeded to Azzuro, our chosen restaurant for lunch. I had previously dined at Azzuro but had somewhat forgotten the quality of the food. However, the starters promptly reminded me of its excellence.
There are approximately four establishments located throughout the country, offering commendable value as well!
It feels like a slice of Italy right here in London!
Essential Considerations
1.) It is advisable to arrange your Tinggly experience several days in advance to ensure the experience can be scheduled in time.
2.) The booking process is semi-automated – it allows for online reservations, however, all further confirmations are manual. This aspect presents both advantages and disadvantages. This can be inconvenient due to the waiting period for confirmation; however, it also allows for discussion and flexibility in scheduling according to personal availability.
3.) Ensure you print the confirmation following your booking. I was unaware of this requirement, which was not clearly stated (or perhaps I overlooked it). The host at Azzuro was somewhat apprehensive about this detail, adding an unnecessary complication to the experience. Fortunately, the manager intervened and resolved the issue, mitigating the situation to some extent.
4.) Notably, since my last visit, The Shard has gained popularity as a tourist destination, leading to an unexpectedly high volume of visitors (though it was pleasantly busy). Therefore, be well-prepared before arriving.
