The walk was very well organised with plenty of preparation and the necessary kit. All the staff were welcoming and helpful but most outstanding was the guide, Aaron (I think) who right from the beginning showed that he was there to ensure that our experience was safe and enjoyable. We were a fairly small group, probably due to the atrocious weather conditions. Aaron was supportive throughout the climb and very knowledgeable at the top when explaining landmarks. He showed real care and professionalism when one of the party was struggling on the descent and ensured that she had a positive experience.

We arrived early and spoke to the security who advised us to go up to the Oblix for a coffee. Once there the wonderful staff gave us a window seat and instead we ordered brilliant cocktails. When time we went up the Shard and on the 69th floor had coffee and cake whilst looking at the superb views of London. We then went up to the 70th floor where the facade stops and the sway feels like you are on a boat and it was all fantastic!

Both activities were superb and paying the extra money for fast track for the London Eye was definitely worth it. The O2 Climb was our favourite because it was such a different activity. The staff were great and made it fun. The views from both were great (lucky with the weather!) and booking them together was good value and made it easier as tickets were together on the app. Highly recommend!

    Firstly, your staff were incredible!!! Having had a Stroke on my head and Spine, I really can't put into words how understanding and accommodating they were, so THANK YOU!! Alex was the groups guide, I loved his sense of humour and how he brought the group together. My daughter didn't waste any time and left me for dust, but I knew she was in safe hands. I was chaperoned by Karl and Tan because I needed extra support. Their teamwork and willing to help and support me were amazing. They helped me accomplish an achievement, which 6 years ago would have been impossible. I've saved the best until last, Karls mum Kirsty, she had surprised Karl and took on the climb. Having travelled far and not used to London public transport, not telling Karl she was booked in for a climb was really special to be a part of. Thank you Up at the O2 for helping me

    The welcome and introduction were completely lacking in inspiration or much information. Our guide gave us very little information, even when asked at the top, whereas the guide before us we could see was giving a very animated and entertaining talk to their group. We were lucky it was a beautiful day as that made the experience great from a personal standpoint. But overall disappointing.

    It was very well organised and very one of the staff was welcoming and helpful. We are two ladies on our tour and they were amazing. Can't remember their names. Would recommend this experience.
