The combination of London from above and London from the water was absolutely amazing to get a good feeling for the city and see a lot of sights in one time and from different perspectives. Because the boat tour is flexible, you can hop off at another destination and continue your sight seeing. On the boat, you also get a lot of interesting information and storys, the captains are very committed. Wouldn't miss it!

Loved how seamless the experience with buying a ticket with headout was. The royal observatory was a once in a lifetime experience with learning so many different things about our astronomical history that I had no idea about. Very fascinating!

The Thames cruise was fantastic, with beautiful views and interesting facts about London. The Transport Museum was also interesting and informative, but more of a one-time visit for us. Overall, a great experience, especially the boat tour!

The show was something completely different from anything I have seen before & the singers & the ambience of the cathedral was amazing . Enjoyed the boat trip with commentary as you can see a lot of the sights of London at one time .

The river cruise itself was really good! Only let down was the group of Indians that were on board singing and disturbing the atmosphere. Forcefully taking the seating too!

The history of it all. It was amazing how much dedication by the astronomers there was. We have stood on the points of time change both in Iceland and England.

Explore the best of London with this combo, combining a visit to the Royal Observatory Greenwich with a relaxing Thames sightseeing cruise.

See the historic Octagon Room, gaze through the Great Equatorial Telescope, and stand on the Prime Meridian Line.

If you can get tickets to the London Eye, I highly recommend that you do! You can see the whole of London as the ride rotates. Each capsule offers space to create photo ops. I highly recommend the London Eye while in London!
