The London Eye experience was memorable. The website for the pre-booking had some problems in the week before the selected day (it seemed like there was no availability in the whole day). However, 3 days before the visit everything worked fine and we managed to book a time slot. We arrived about 15 min before the scheduled time, but they allowed us (me and my family) to go. There was almost no queue at 10:15 am and we really enjoyed the view. The Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour was good and we appreciated the description of the sites during the tour. However, at 13:30 the bus was late and after about 45 min waiting we decided to take the metro. The Thames river cruise was wonderful! We really enjoyed the visiting and the descriptions by the boat staff.

The combined ticket was a last-minute offer that we took advantage of. Overall, we saved more than the 30% mentioned because we didn't use public transport (but Big Bus). Really great: super friendly staff, super detailed directions, including the signs at the stops. For us, all parts of the ticket deserved a particularly good rating.

We start with the London eye the view was fantastic, then we took the River cruise, a few steps from the London eye that is a plus for this combo. The next day we took the hop on - hop off taking a view of the highlight land of the city taking a lot pictures and visiting important areas is the city. I highly recommender this combo.

    The ease of using the passes was terrific. Due to protests, I was not able to enjoy the Hop On Bus. A highlight was the excellent commentary provided on the Thames River cruise.
