Was upset to learn eye was not working due to weather but we were taken to vip lounge and had a couple of drinks and then the eye open again. We were there for our daughter for her 21st birthday. Tia our host looked after us from start to finish- she was great and very knowledgeable when we had questions for her.

I purchased the ticket with the faster access to the attraction, and loved being able to skip that 30+ minute wait. From getting to the London Eye, I was in my pod within 5 minutes.

The VIP package was an excellent choice for our 25th anniversary. Three couples and our fantastic guide made the 30-minute trip. As the night lights of London began revealing this vast city, we were educated on London landmarks and trivia. The champagne was an excellent addition to our experience.

The views from up high are exceptional. No light background music. No pinpoint focus guide. Photo counter could not accept cash so i had to leave my photos.
