It was the perfect cruise, with the most interesting story-tell from the Capitan! He was so easy going and made everything even more interesting for the public. It was not only a way to get to know the history of London better, but to also hear it through the prespective of a local citizen who definetly knows how to make you laugh and have the time of your life.

We have enjoyed our cruise from Westminster pier to Greenwich. We saw various london's landmarks. The trip was smooth, interesting and informative through the live tour guide who was very knowledgeable. We took lots pictures from the top deck as this has the best view. Highly recommend this experience.

If you buy tickets in advance, you’ll skip the lines, go straight in, and have a really cool experience—it’s totally worth it. If you’re visiting London, you can’t miss this place... The observation decks are enclosed and offer panoramic views, with a non-transparent floor for those who are afraid of heights... Excellent!!!

Westminster Abbey was beautiful, and thanks to the audio guide, we learned a lot of interesting facts. We explored the Tower without an audio guide, so there was a lot to read, but it was okay. Make sure to arrive on time everywhere, as it was very busy.

I was surprised by how quickly we were able to get into the Sunny attraction even though the place was very crowded. The London Eye was truly impressive, with its spectacular views and high-quality facilities. It’s worth going up both during the day and at night.

    Everything went very smoothly at both Westminster Abbey and the Tower. However: The note in the email stating that we ABSOLUTELY had to print out our tickets for Westminster caused us some stress last night; our small hotel ended up printing them out, which turned out to be completely unnecessary. All the other visitors simply showed their digital tickets. The links to the Westminster Abbey app are outdated; they don’t work on either iPhones or Android phones. And we were then given audio guides with headphones. It would therefore make sense to update your information.

    Everything went very smoothly. Thank goodness we arrived 30 minutes early, and even then we still had to wait in line. At first glance, there’s only one central viewing platform, but the truth is that it’s an experience best enjoyed standing up and moving around the space to see the city from different angles—the views are absolutely stunning. We had to go through a pretty thorough security check before going up. It was very nice, but it’s expensive, and the only thing there is the views. We’ve already had the experience, but I wouldn’t do it again.
