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.

A very special and beautiful experience. The tickets were very easy and accessible. We didn’t have to wait long. At the scheduled time we went in, and in less than 10 minutes we were already up on the London Eye. Incredible.” 🎡✨

The service was good, the ride set off on time and the bus was clean and comfortable. The only inconvenience was a traffic accident along the way that blocked us for 45mins, but this is obviously something that is not under the control of the bus driver, so nothing to complain about when it comes to the service and the related experience.

Used this service a few time now. Always satisfied, stress free. I personally find it a lot easier than the train. Drivers always professional also cracked a few jokes. I understand why he's bus driving and not on stage but appreciated the effort.
