Our hostess Diana was amazing! She is totally charming and engaging. The Champagne service was great. The sights were fantastic, a very enjoyable experience overall.
Tickets did exactly what we expected. Nice to avoid the long line. Extreamly satisfied with the London Eye. Very clean, knowledgeable staff, well maintained.
We booked the Fast Pass for Sunday at 11:45 AM on 11May, for the London Eye. We walked right up to the Fadt Pass lane with nearly no queue, scanned our two QR codes we printed and were directed straight to the ride. The total time from arrival at the Fast Pass to stepping onto the ride was less than three minutes! Well worth the extra cost for us.
We enjoyed the vip Champaign experience and our fabulous host was Sammy! He was amazing, funny and knowledgable. We would highly recommend!!
J'ai adoré notre expérience 😘🥰♥️😍😘🥰
Buying tickets online was quick and easy. The queue cutter was really worth it, we easily saved a 45-minute wait. The tour of the wheel takes about 30 minutes and at the top the view of London is magnificent. A must when visiting London.

We really enjoyed visiting these 2 monuments, the Tower for the building and everything it contains, and the bridge for its glass floor in particular! Like everything else we visited, the only language was English 😏
View original review in French
Simply it IS the Tower of London. Iconic, historic, atmosphrtweather wasn't good but inside the displays were very informative.
The attraction was very informative and the wardens were helpful and very accommodating. Loved the ravens! And the crown jewels were A-MAZ-ING! Lots of steps to contend with on site so wear comfortable footwear if you go. Booking online made tickets and entry easier. Would highly recommend
the tower of london was ama inv so much to see and our three grandchildren loved it all ,especially the crown jewels and the mint collection ton ,can't belive we are londoners and have never been before ,the poppy displays were stunning ,that was the highlight for me so beautiful we all had a fab time ,the children loved chatting with the friendly yeomans as well , ,we had lunch in the cafe which was all plentiful & delicious ,we will definitely go again
Brilliant day out, lots of interesting things to see and it was lovely to see the Poppies cascading around the Tower. Would highly recommend anyone who hasn't visited to go ahead and buy a ticket, you will not be disappointed.
I had no idea of everything that was in the Tower. We would have allotted much more time. Fanscinating. The Yeoman, AJ, was an outstanding guide - mixing humor with the history. You should allot 3 hours for the tour!
It was obvious from minute one that the most entertaining part of the experience of the Tower of London was going to be the Yeoman who led the tour. He knew his stuff and educated as well as made us laugh.
The tickets were easy to buy, download and use. Great experience. The Tower itself was extra crowded due to VE Day celebrations. We paid for the headphones which are definitely NOT worth it. The headphones are not user friendly and do not improve the experience.
10 a.m. visit with a light flow Very nice exhibition Very interesting site I highly recommend However, from noon onwards, monstrous queues !!!! Prefer early mornings

Absolutely loved the Toer of London. Fantastic place to visit, we visited on a bank holiday weekend and as you can imagine it was busy but the queue flowed very quickly. Lots to see and do, coffee shop, gift shop. Audio tours. An excellent attraction with the Crown Jewels to top it off.
Arriving at 8:30am, the tour of the jewels was carried out in excellent conditions; afterwards, the historical explanations on the use of the different places were very well done; the armor room was extra with pieces in very good condition.
View original review in French
Easy scanning of the tickets on the cell phone, smooth processing. You can stay on the grounds as long as you like The only drawback is that nothing depends on the time slot you have booked, you queue as normal and there is a huge queue at the Crown Jewels.
View original review in German
Purchasing tickets was easy. The tower was beautiful. Exhibits were informational. There were a lot of people! So many people that sometimes it was hard to move freely and see exhibits. My only real complaint is that there were so many people, that the wait to see the Crown Jewels was at least an hour. Unfortunately, we were unable to see them , which was the one thing I was most excited about seeing. I was disappointed about that. Overall, a good experience.
Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

Super convenient to book from home. I would recommend it to anyone. Otherwise the queues can be quite long or you don't even get in. Everything worked great and the tower is really very interesting and worth seeing.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

The London Eye gave us great views - we enjoyed it. We were put in our space with a large group and that was not ideal. It was hard to move around to see different areas due to so many people taking up most of the window space and places to sit. We were not able to do our river cruise. The boat captain said the operation of the combo ticket had changed and we could only take the boat one way to the Tower of London. I was disappointed to not do this part of the ticket and to forfeit my money since we were unable to reschedule in the short time we were there. Maybe I should give this a lower rating since it was not really good!
The gentleman on the boat deserves a 20/10 for the live guide. He was so friendly and you could tell that he enjoyed doing it
View original review in German
From booking the experience I was kept updated with information on the app and was well informed on where to go. Once there it was so simple, queuing for the London Eye was quick and seamless and after on the river cruise was exactly that, a cruise! Would definitely recommend, staff friendly and great day out (helped that the weather was fabulous!)
The Tower of London is well worth a visit, even if you have to do a quest in each of the towers to admire the jewels in my crown.

Great London Eyes experience. Cruise a little short for my taste, but worth doing. The staff at both were super friendly and smiling.
View original review in French
The London Eye is good with the skip line, good service, but the River cruise ticket was confusing me. First, I don't know how to get to the entrance to the cruise, the ticket is not clear what is the cruise name and it was only one way ticket. I got drop off at Greenwich which I am not expected, so I have to found the way the get back the hotel.
London Eye : Hardly any waiting time with Fastline , Beautiful view over London Cruise : Knowledgeable information from the captain during the cruise, but late departure (which is generally not a bad thing), but no information on site
View original review in German
The cruise portion of the ticket was sold as 40 minute round trip boat ride. When we showed up for the cruise, we were told that tickets were only good for one way 30 minute boat ride from London Eye pier to Tower Hill.
It was very easy and smooth on entry. Customer service was amazing and we were lucky with the sunny weather to enjoy the attractions!🥳
Fun speaker and boat ride. It was a blast.
The cruise was awesome and the view on top of the London Eye was breathtaking!!

It was very good The queue was crazy long - so would recommend getting fast track - you get to skip the queue and get a drink included
From the main entrance, the whole experience was mind blowing. The kids were absolutely excited. We took loads of pictures with our favourite celebrities. Will definitely be back again. I have recommended it to so many of my friends who were fascinated with our pictures. Nice place to be!
The exhibit. Made it memorable as I got to see some of my favourite actors and got to see one of the Cray twins as well as jack the ripper as well as the extraterrestrial et and got to rock with jimi Hendrix and bob Marley
To be honest I was with my friends from my country they was surprised. He loved everything what we se it inside. We recommend to everyone to visit one time Madame Tussauds.
We were very surprised that all the wax figures are accessible, can even be touched and are not separated from the visitors! We missed Mr. Besn, Michael Jackson, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. The Royal Family is the center of attraction! However, the staggered entry means that there are rarely crowds. The 4D cinema is also worth a visit. The cab ride could be a little slower for our taste because there is soooo much to see! Overall, it's a destination that was well worth a visit! The Regentspark behind it should also be visited!

All of it we've been planning this trip for years and everything was amazing though the bobba tea could of been cheaper and queuing to get through by the green screen when we didn't want a photo was a bit much.
The day was filled with interesting information walking over the sharks at the beginning was excellent. The larger array of fish was impressive It was very busy but taking your time you got to see all of the exhibits. The penguins were great but the jellyfish exhibit was my favourite
Some aquariums were empty and animals were missing but it was still very nice. Sharks, penguins, jellyfish's we had a good time
We spent about 2 and a half hours there. The kids were fascinated and loved it. The best sea life centre we have been to by far
I bought two tickets for the London Aquarium and had no problem, I showed the ticket with the qr code directly from my phone and I could even change the date of entry by anticipating the time through the app.

It was my first Aquarium visit, So i thought everyhing was interesting. I loved The tortoise and The jellyfish. I think it would of been Better without The people stoping in random places, blocking The view, to eat. There were 2 places with a bit more space for rest where people stayed like in a picnic place.
Everything in the aquarium was awesome. I was very excited to see creatures. Well organised environment and it has proper ventilation. Security wise was good.
There was so much to see and my 4-year-old grandson is obsessed with sharks. And we loved the Nemo fish!

A School trip of around 30 children made the venue rather tight for space perhaps schools could book certain days rather than with the general public.
Not too busy so didn't have to queue for anything. Knowledgable and informative staff member talking at the shark tank. Overall it was a great morning - the whole place feels a little tired though and could do with a bit of a face lift but didn't detract from the enjoyment for my children! Felt quite expensive for what it was - we were there for 2 hours and for a family of 4 it cost £141. Compared to other attractions where you spend much longer I don't think this is as good value for money.
It was a special visit becasue my Great Grandson who lives in Manchester came up for the weekend with his mummy & daddy. They took him to the Sea Life up North but this one was bigger and better. It was a lovely visit. My own personal treat was seeing the Penguins.
The ambiance is breath taking. The difference spieces of seas animal and the jungle life exwas great. Looking forward for another awesome experience.
The announcements on the big bus were very entertaining and at the sametime, very informative. The drivers were helpful and courteous.
It was nice but was very disappointed when I found out the penguin enclosure was shut for refurb, do I think it was worth over 70 quid for two people no, way to expensive fir what you get
The variety of exhibits...the beautiful music that matched the atmosphere of the sea....the children were thrilled with the vr...

from £11Without the London Eye, the largest cantilever observation wheel in the world, which first began to rotate in 2000 to mark the millennium, it is difficult to imagine South Bank.

Why Visit: There are lots of celebrities to admire, including former and current politicians, athletes, actresses, singers, and movie characters. It's selfie heaven, so bring your selfie stick for that perfect shot with your favorite look-alike.

from £29.90Westminster Abbey is regarded as the best instance of Early English Gothic and is a beautiful fusion of architectural styles. The Abbey is still a functioning church and the scene in which history is being played out, so it is more than just a lovely place of worship. Westminster Abbey is what is known as a "royal peculiar," run by the Crown, and was never a church.
Why Visit: Since 1066, the Abbey has served as the coronation church. Additionally, 17 kings' final resting places are there. The antiquity of the structure makes it worth visiting.
Tip: The busiest days at the Westminster Abbey are Monday, Saturday, and Sunday; visit in the middle of the week to avoid the crowds.
