Trip Advisor have this week presented us with a Certificate of Excellence 2016. We are delighted to again have been awarded with this prestigious title.

Now in its 6th year, the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence award recognises establishments and destinations that consistently earn great Trip Advisor reviews from travellers.

The Certificate of Excellence accounts for the quality, quantity and recency of reviews submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

“This recognition helps travellers identify and book activities that regularly deliver great service. TripAdvisor is proud to play this integral role in helping travellers feel more confident in their booking decisions,” says Vice President of Industry Marketing, Heather Leisman.

Positive feedback from our customers is one of our favourite things here at Armourgeddon. We know people have a good time when they come to see us, but to take the time to sit down and write a review of their day out shows us that they had an exceptional time. That’s our goal, so it’s great to hear about it when we have achieved it.

To celebrate, we thought this week we would share some of our favourite Trip Advisor reviews with you. Thank you to everyone who has written a review for us and kept us at a brilliant 5 stars all year. We are thrilled that you love coming to visit us.

“My friend and I treated ourselves to an hour tank driving experience. Amazing. Really muddy and slippery. The Instructor was hugely funny and really entertaining. Tank driving is incredible, would recommend this as a great afternoon out.”

“Great 40th birthday pressie from my wife. Brilliant morning with knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Museum was well worth a visit and better than expected. Can't praise enough.”

“Simply excellent!! Great quality kit, experienced & friendly instructors, well-planned activities & ideal location…plus a museum of militaria to browse around for free…will return!!”

“We had an amazing day. We had age ranges from 10 to 70 and was enjoyed by all. Great experience. Would highly recommend.”

“Great fun, it was for my hubby and our two sons although any age or gender would love it, you get to drive a tank, a real tank !!! and shoot at targets and a battle with another team in another tank.”

“It was a brilliant afternoon, much better than expected, instructors were really good and made you feel relaxed. Driving the tank was the best thing he's ever done, didn't stop smiling for ages.”

“This was a Christmas present of all presents. Driving a tank has always been a dream and this experience did not disappoint. The drive lasted about 1 hour and I did not stop smiling. The staff were fantastic and friendly – I would differently recommend this experience if you like adventure and trying something new. Photos are taken which can be purchased from the small shop after your drive.”

“My wife and I decided to do this as part of our adventure list and were not disappointed. The whole thing was organised very well and we had the best fun we have had in ages. Driving a tank was exciting but it was just as exciting being driven when it was another person’s turn. Really recommend this experience.”

“Great time, exhilarating fun and such a welcome, Staff are friendly and give you loads of additional information as well as the important bits like how to stop! Coffee shop on site as well as museum. Anybody can give this a go and it is worth it from the the moment you arrive through to the kudos of reversing your tank back into its parking space! Can be a bit muddy (that's one of the best bits about the driving!) but only getting to your tank. I would recommend to anyone no matter of age, size or basic ability.”

“A great Christmas present given to me by my children. Really exciting time and experience driving around the tank range. Would recommend this driving experience to anyone.”

Thank you for your support all year and we look forward to welcoming returning guests and first-time tankers again soon.
