GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5This combo was fantastic value and so easy to book. The London Eye gave us incredible panoramic views of the city — we could spot Big Ben, the Shard, and Buckingham Palace from the top. The Thames River Cruise was a perfect way to relax afterward, with a great guide sharing fun facts about the landmarks along the river. Booking both together saved us money and time, and the whole day felt seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this combo for anyone visiting London for the first time!"AAdv M
FamilyVerified booking5 days ago4/5I have visited London many times. This time I came with my 12-year-old son, and I purchased tickets for the aquarium and a cruise on the River Thames. Both can be described as a good experience. The aquarium is built around a huge tank containing several sharks and a whale skeleton, and along the visitor's path there are many small aquariums with fish and other animals. It is divided into sections: above water, underwater, and different world regions, so there is also a penguin enclosure—the enclosure is interesting because the visitor views this tank from the side, where you can see these cute animals clearly underwater, swimming and coming ashore. Besides the animals, there is a special overview of the rainforests. The visit is interesting, creates a good experience, and we enjoyed it very much. Later, we went on a cruise. We chose a one-way trip, and after getting off we continued our daily route on the Underground. The cruise is an experience accompanied by explanations of the buildings along the river; it's an opportunity to see the city and hear stories from a different angle. It was definitely worth the time. Visiting both activities is recommended.LLau C
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5The river cruise was amazing! We sailed on a spacious boat with large windows, accompanied by a very experienced tour guide who gave detailed commentary on the landmarks along the Thames. I felt completely relaxed and immersed in the scenery. After the cruise, we continued our adventure with a visit to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich as our final stop. Big thanks to Headout for bringing us such a wonderful morning!MMulalo M
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Loved 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!MMichelle W
