FamilyVerified bookingAug 20265/5I loved that the experience combined two great activities in one package. SEA LIFE London Aquarium was enjoyable and engaging, and the flexible Thames River Cruise was a lovely way to relax and see London’s landmarks from the river. The flexibility made it easy to fit both activities into our day, and overall it was great value for money.AAlfred T
GroupVerified bookingAug 20265/5Great way to explore the city. Especially the route around the London bridge and the Big Ben was exciting. To go around the corners and be surprised bij the views, was great.LLewis M
CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5We had a fantastic visit to SEA LIFE London Aquarium and would definitely recommend it. It wasn’t too busy during our visit, which made it much more enjoyable and relaxed. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout, and the aquarium was very easy to navigate. There was a brilliant and wide selection of sea life to see, with plenty to keep both adults and children entertained. Everything was clean and well maintained, which really added to the overall experience. A great day out with lots to see and do — definitely worth a 5-star rating!PPenny W
CoupleVerified booking3 days ago4/5I enjoyed the commentary and learning about London, and being able to get on and off the bus to visit the places that interested me. However as a disabled guest I was surprised at the different attitudes of the drivers. Some were willing to put the ramp out for me, and some offered their support to manage getting on the bus. However, some would not lower the ramp despite being asked, and sat and watch my friend (who walks with a stuck) struggle to get me, my rollator and bag onto the busKKurt J
CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5Our biggest surprise was the "Jack the Ripper" walking tour with Emma. Outstanding! We enjoyed riding around London, and didn't discover the audio until late in the ride. We liked the different stops, but we stayed on until the Tower of London. Wonderful tour, and able to buy the tickets from the Headout vendor at the Tower. Thank you for the trip.
