Great Value

The river cruise was the best. The guide was really funny and full of interesting anecdotes. The bus was disappointing as there was no instructions on what to do. I didn’t realise earplugs were available so this should have been made clear from the beginning.
Excellent package

We did the tour with our 2 adult children and our 5 year old grandson (his first time seeing the London sights). He, was super excited about seeing Big Ben and going on the London Eye. Sadly we missed doing the river cruise because of delays on the tube in the morning and because there were delays on the bus route. However, we had a fabulous time seeing sights through our grandson's eyes.

Fab tour, easy to find the bus stops which are brilliantly located next to all of the main sites, we had the london eye and free rover cruise thrown in which was a great experience. Would highly recommend this trip
Good Value

Found this to be a good value for money combination ticket. Arrived at The Eye early and got straight on. The bus commentary was informative and the river cruise a bonus.

Americans & Us
Americans, 01/09/2019 (Family with teenagers)
We had American relatives over and showed them around London by bus and river cruise which was brilliant. We also went on London Eye which we have done several times but the Americans hadn't and thought it was great.
