Combi ticket was ideal for us! We were in London in August and there was still plenty of room! You had to click a time slot, I really advise you to still be there half an hour in advance during busy periods. Inclecken went quickly, then another 20 min wait until you could board (both on the boat and the London Eye) because of the line of people. On board everything was there, free neat toilets, food and drinks for sale and sweet and funny crew. Top experience!!!

Dream experience. Experiencing London from above or from the river fills you with excitement. Many friends tell me "aren't you afraid of the height of the London eye"? I assure you there is no fear to be had. Inside each cabin you may sit but you will surely be there to photograph every corner of London. The cruise is also worth it. I recommend the Combonians highly

Very very very cozy environment. We had a chance to sit for a long time and have breakfast and exchange some chats in a very very unique place. And then at 11 o'clock we also had a chance to go out on the terrace and have an even better view of the skyline over London. Very well organized.

Enjoy a flexible sightseeing cruise on the River Thames and early access to Sky Garden, complete with coffee and a breakfast pastry.

Skip the crowds as you get early morning entry to Sky Garden at 8:15am, with fresh coffee and your choice of breakfast pastries, along with unbeatable views.

Board your Thames cruise from Westminster, the London Eye, or Tower Pier, with live or multilingual commentary and panoramic city views from the water.

For maximum convenience, choose the Tower Pier for your cruise as it is just a 15-min walk from Sky Garden.

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.

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.
