The London eye had amazing sights and not a long wait. If you have time to do this experience it's a must see on your list for London. As for the Thames cruise we ran out of time and couldn't use it so only get it if you know you will have time to use the combo pass to both attractions I tried to get a different time but policy is strict. The customer service was nice nonetheless when I asked them.

We had the pass for five attractions in London. All our visits went smoothly, and we definitely saved a lot of time. However, I wish the app could be shared among multiple people in case something happens to one person’s phone, so everyone can stay on top of the schedule. Also, booking the attractions currently requires using a link in the email. It took me a while to figure that out.
