I'd recommend the London Eye, a great view of London and Big Ben in particular. No waiting, no need to buy a faster ticket. We arrived early and had no trouble getting on without having to wait for our timetable. As for the cruise, I'm a little disappointed. We got on at the London Eye, and the boat was already full. We sat where there was room, so we were separated. No commentary in French with audioguide as advertised. The QR code in the boat is only for ordering food and drinks. On the other hand, the view of Tower Bridge from the Thames is very beautiful. Worth it for that alone.

The London eye was a great experience. We missed the river tour but as it's a flexi ticket you can pick it up at a different time. The river boat cruise is only one way, we were not aware of this and only saw one bridge, again not aware that the penultimate cruise decides to terminate at London Bridge. So this was a bit disappointing. Join the cruise at Westminster or Greenwich bridge for full experience.

Excellent combination of cruise and London Eye. The morning cruise is great, less crowded and very pleasant. We set off from Westminster Pier and got off at Tower Bridge, with a magnificent view of the buildings and clear explanations (in English...). London eye at night is magical! It's splendid to see the city lit up, magnificent!

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.

The view is good. It was kind of windy because of a broken window. The coffee wasn't that good and the treat was limited to two options.
