Yesterday

Loved the ease and flow of the Thames River Cruise, as well as the ability to get on at multiple pier points at any time of the day. The London I was worried cause I was late for my 7:30pm booking, I was still allowed and able to get on past the booked time. The views at sunset and seeing the lights come on over London 10/10!

The effects were stunning, the narration informative and there was a very moving ambience. I wouldn't have wanted to have queued in the rain or to have had to sit on the chairs for much longer!

Writing Excellent Experience with Headout We had a fantastic experience using Headout to book our tickets for the London Eye and Thames River Cruise. The booking process was quick, easy, and straightforward, and everything went smoothly on the day. The tickets were convenient to access, and both experiences were enjoyable and well organised. The London Eye offered spectacular views of London, while the Thames River Cruise was a wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective. We were very happy with the service from Headout and would definitely use them again for future attractions and experiences. Highly recommended!

Absolutely excellent experience. The story of Westminster cathedral was beautifully done from start to finish and very memorable. I particularly loved the WWII sequence. I thought it was pure genius. The music selection was perfect, ably supported by a great choir. Also a shout out to the people who prepared the programme. Very worthwhile buying it. A really lovely production. Sadly almost everyone bypassed it but I thought it was one of the best programmes I have ever bought and something I will look at again and again.

Everything was perfectly organised and the whole experience felt magical. Definitely one of the highlights of our weekend in London. Highly recommended! ✨
