“Was great to see the views of London on this The experience was fun and was worth the price to do this”
Take a 30-minute rotation on the London Eye in a glass, air-conditioned capsule 443 feet above the Thames. Fast-track entry cuts much of the queue, while clear-day views can reach 25 miles, including Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and possibly Windsor Castle. Check in 15 minutes early with your mobile ticket.
“Very efficient service, from quick queue to getting in the pod, staff helpful and friendly to guide us to the right place.”
Spend about nine hours seeing London’s major sights by coach and on foot with a Blue Badge guide. Visit St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, watch the Changing of the Guard when scheduled, then cruise from Tower Pier to Westminster. An optional London Eye ticket is set for around 6:30pm.
“Tour was good. But much was not explained and you were left on your own. Should have asked more questions before I booked.”
Board at London Eye Pier for a 40-minute circular cruise with live commentary. Guides such as Paul, Hannah, Ian, and Mitch point out Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Tate Modern, and Shakespeare’s Globe. Arrive early for a better upper-deck seat.
“Very enjoyable tour, our guide Josh was very entertaining and gave us so many interesting facts during the tour. Only downside is you can’t stand on the upper deck so you have to sit inside if you don’t get there early enough but it’s still a great view as you can open the windows. Would definitely recommend.”
Start at London Eye Pier for a 40-minute Thames cruise with live commentary from guides such as George, Mitch, or Amelia. See Big Ben, St. Paul’s, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, and more, then ride the London Eye within 90 days of your cruise for wide city views. The Eye ticket is flexible, but the cruise time is fixed.
“It’s a must do in London. But disappointing we were with a very rowdy inconsiderate family. The views we could see were amazing.”
Start at Victoria for a guided London overview by luxury coach, then visit St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, cruise the Thames, and ride the London Eye if selected. Guides such as Mark, Morton, Tish, and Zozo bring strong storytelling to the day. Expect a fast pace, plenty of walking, and an end time near 4:30pm.
“A very interesting tour of London. Our tour guide, Mark was very informative, thorough, and often worked in a little "yank" humor which I enjoyed. A couple of highlights: The London Eye and The Tower of London, particularly the Crown Jewels tour. My only complaint was the meeting place could have been better identified. I went to the wrong meeting place, and I missed the start of the tour. I caught up to the tour at Buckingham Palace.”
Ride the 443-foot London Eye in a shared glass pod with fast-track entry, a chilled glass of Moët & Chandon, and a host such as Mia, Will, or Sophie Jo to point out Big Ben, St. Paul’s, and Buckingham Palace.
“Best way to get on the Eye. They start you in a private bar area where you meet your host. You are then sent into the private line with only a few people to start your trip up. Diana our host was excellent: knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend doing the Eye this way!!”
Start in Victoria aboard a 1960s red Routemaster, passing Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul’s, and the Tower of London. Cruise from Tower Pier to the London Eye, then choose a London Eye ride or afternoon Stonehenge visit. Guides such as Alan, Lisa, Steve, and Magnus add lively historical detail.
“Great overview tour of London, hits all the major spots tourists need to see! The vintage bus was very cool and fun to ride on.”
Pair a London Eye time slot with a 24 or 48-hour Big Bus pass and a one-way City Cruises trip between Tower of London and Westminster Pier. You get open-top views, seven-language audio, and, with 48 hours, three guided walks. Plan carefully: traffic and ticket redemption can eat into your sightseeing time.
“Big Bus Tours was amazing. Hop on Hop Off bus was great. We got to see all the sights we wanted to see! London Eye and Cruise on the Thames was one of the stops. They gave out ear buds as you got on the bus so that you could listen to the high points of each stop! Would highly recommend this tour!”
Pick a city, a stone circle or a pub.
