Honestly, the whole day felt like something out of a movie. Going up on the London Eye was insane – seeing the whole city laid out like that made me feel so small but in the best way. Madame Tussauds was so fun, we kept running around taking silly pics with the figures, like they were actually celebrities we bumped into. And SEA LIFE… wow, walking through that tunnel with sharks and stingrays literally swimming over my head was unreal. Everything was so easy and well organized, I didn’t have to stress about a thing. It’s honestly one of those days I know I’m gonna remember when I think about being 21 and exploring London.

The day was filled with interesting information walking over the sharks at the beginning was excellent. The larger array of fish was impressive It was very busy but taking your time you got to see all of the exhibits. The penguins were great but the jellyfish exhibit was my favourite

Headout is really simple to use, in most cases you just have the QR code scanned as your ticket. It saves you a lot of money and gives you so many options. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to London. You can check all the attractions included prior so you know it will suit you. Possibly the best way to see London!

Having the pass makes it much easier by avoiding ticket lines, however, there are some aspects that are good to point out: some facilities have rather limited opening hours, you have to take this into account when planning activities because you risk missing something: for example, we were not able to visit Westminster Abbey because a) on Sundays it is open only for worship, b) by postponing the visit to the following Tuesday morning we alas discovered that on October 1, that is when we wanted to go) the abbey opens at 1 p.m. Having to leave in the afternoon we missed it. Or the London Eye opens only late in the morning and, having to make reservations, the performance of the whole day suffers, because one cannot go to a museum, for example, as there is no time to do so either before (they open at 10 a.m.) or after (many close at 5 p.m. and between the time to go and the time to visit one would be squeezed in); moreover, the pass does not give priority of entry, despite the reservation. Finally, I would have preferred the pass to include more art venues than entertainment venues. Then if you are not able to use all the passes, the savings in spending are nullified
