Great service; it works really well with the app. The Thames cruise was truly beautiful. In my personal opinion, the London Eye ride isn’t worth the ticket price—it didn’t leave a particularly strong impression on me. I went during the day. Maybe it would be better at sunset or at night.

The London Eye experience is fantastic. Seeing London’s most iconic sights from above is a great experience. The same goes for the river cruise, but if you have to choose just one, go for the London Eye—the other experience isn’t really worth it. We booked a cruise for 1:00 p.m. and had to wait over 30 minutes because it actually didn’t leave until 1:30 p.m.

Booking with Headout was fantastic; everything went great, and the tickets were cheaper. We took the boat tour on the Thames and rode the London Eye. We barely had to wait in line at the London Eye, since it moves very quickly. The boat ride was a really pleasant experience since we went on a sunny day! But I would have liked the option to buy a ticket for the full circuit, not just a one-way ticket.

A must-try experience!!! From the London Eye, you get a beautiful bird's-eye view of the city, and there's plenty of time to take lots of photos during the ride. The cabins are clean and comfortable. There’s a long line, but as long as you stick to the scheduled time, it moves quickly. The view from the Thames is also lovely, and the cruise is relaxing. Just remember to download the app with the audio guide if you don’t speak Italian. I highly recommend this combo!

The guide on the first cruise was awesome. But I had to get off and get another ferry going the opposite way. This guide was bad. The ride is VERY short. And The Eye is nothing more than an enclosed Ferris wheel. However the views were spectacular. Just thought the experience was a little expensive for what you receive
