My experience buying tickets for The View from The Shard through the Headout app was incredible from start to finish. The app is very easy to use, intuitive, and practical, so purchasing the tickets was quick and simple. All the information was clear and we received the tickets without any issues, which let us enjoy the experience worry-free. The visit to The Shard was spectacular. The panoramic views of London are stunning, and being able to take in the city from high above was an unforgettable experience. It is an activity I fully recommend, whether you are visiting London for the first time or want to discover the city from a different perspective. Everything was very well organized and the experience exceeded our expectations. I would definitely use Headout again to book other activities and attractions during my travels. The convenience, ease of purchase, and peace of mind it offers make it well worth it. A 10/10 experience, completely recommended, and something I would do again without hesitation.

The London Eye was great. It was a perfect day weather wise and the view was spectacular. Very easy process once tickets are purchased in advance to get on. It was not overcrowded and plenty of space in the capsule. 30 minutes to go around from start to finish is plenty of time to take the view in and take some pictures. The View from The Shard was also a nice experience. Unfortunately, the evening we had our tickets, was a very rainy night. So visibility was limited. We took some pictures but they did not come out clearly unfortunately. Again, the process once tickets are purchased in advance was quick and easy. We arrived earlier than our scheduled time but, even still, did not wait too long to go up. Process was smooth and very organized. I wish the evening was a clear one - would have made for a much better experience overall. But, when you purchase tickets, you just never know what kind of weather you will encounter.

It all went smoothly, headoutvwas easy to contact and very helpful with any quieries we had. We enjoyed are champagne and mocktails and the view was spectacular from the top floors of the Shard. We were lucky to have a clear cloudless day. The Staff in Aquashard were also friendly and efficient. The food was presented delightfully and very tasty. We all had a great day.

Visiting the Shard viewing platforms was an overwhelming experience. Especially because we had such beautiful clear day and you could see for miles. And being able to use Apple/Google Maps to help identify all of the famous landmarks and buildings was absolutely brilliant. 100% highly recommend that you put this on your must do list when visiting London.

We picked a day when a storm was engulfing London Up at the top before the rain and spending a long time looking around then a well thought out talk about the Shard. Cocktails with an excellent bar tender who was not fazed by my off list request ( he made a better job of it than I had ever had before) but now the Gail was howling. Very impressed!

This was very special for us as a family because:1. Our teenager was tired of all historical locations we dragged him through, but he loves modern and tall buildings. 2. The view was absolutely stunning and we could look and talk about the different parts of London. 3. We all got a break from the busy streets with something nice in our glasses.

    Really enjoyed our visit to The Shard! The views over London are amazing and it's great to see all the famous landmarks from up there. We had a lovely time taking photos and enjoying the view. Definitely worth a visit if you're in London! It's crazy how fast the lift is!
