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 visit to the zoo was definitely a 'positive experience,I liked the division of the trails according to the type of animals through the guidance of different colored trails. Also, for some species of course, there is this direct contact which is beautiful. I would have liked,having arrived at a certain point,to be able to take advantage of the 'help of a vehicle to continue the path, because the zoo is really big and x who is not 20 years old anymore can be a challenge to get to the end. Great experience

My son and I really enjoyed our visit to the London Zoo! It wasn’t too crowded, which made it pleasant to walk around and take our time. We discovered some animals we had never seen before, and the staff were all very kind and gentle. The zoo is beautifully decorated, and we loved how much information is shared on the walls — often in the form of fun questions that make learning easy and engaging. The toilets were clean and conveniently located all around the park.

    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.

    We are from Bulgaria and we were very happy with our visit to the zoo! Our children were very excited about the close encounters with the animals. Very nice, clean and well-maintained and with lots of entertainment for young and old visitors. We will definitely come back!

    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.
