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.

I bought tickets for the Tower of London first thing opening time and it was the best, it was a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't that crowded. I was able to get into the crown jewels exhibit without waiting in line and look at the jewels for as long as I could! I toured the complex in about two hours taking a bit of a break and taking pictures. I recommend going at the time they open because then school groups of tourists arrive and everything gets crowded, the souvenir stores are great, but if you like history this place is a must see on your list of things to do in London.

Superb visit although the meeting point was not given (or I didn't understand). We arrived on time and went inside as indicated by the young ladies at the entrance with our tickets on the phone. We scanned an audio guide code at the entrance on the right and took a map. We started by visiting the crown jewels without queuing. What fun! We then saw an impressive queue forming, so we were very lucky. The rest of the tour went smoothly.
    • Two birds, one stone—cruise the Thames and then discover the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London! A super fun combo that’s kind to your wallet too!

    • Tower of London’s just a hop, skip, and a 0.1 km stroll from Tower Pier—so you can cruise the Thames first, or hit up the tower, totally up to you!

    • Roam the Tower for 3-4 hours, then relax on a 30-minute Thames cruise—get the best of London in half a day, with plenty of time left to hit up more cool spots!

    • History lovers, this one’s for you! Cruise past London’s gems, then explore the Tower of London’s royal past. A combo that’s as epic as it is educational!

    I highly recommend taking the fast line because it makes a considerable difference in time saved, I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was already inside, I also recommend going at 11am which is when the attraction starts operations. They have order in the lines, it is organized and certainly buy your photo packages adding the digital version, they give you many versions of backgrounds and videos, excellent experience.
