I loved the London Eye because you could see all over London with a bird's eye view. Unfortunately, my timing was a little off and I was unable to ride the boat on the Thames.. I had thought I could ride the boat back to London Eye, but due to a concert, I was unable to do that.Hetherington

The ease of ordering tickets on line, not standing at a booth, being able to schedule my visit on line and getting a discount. Everything done online. The people who I dealt with at each stop were so wonderful. I truly appreciate that. My experience was an excellent one.
