Highly recommend visiting the abbey. Even if the time you choose is 11:00, when you arrive, you have to wait in a line to get in. When I went, it was about a 10-15 minute wait. Apparently, the entry time is approximate, and you can actually stay in the abbey until closing time. Therefore, I recommend checking what time they close each day before buying your ticket. The visit lasts 1-2 hours depending on how much you stop, and at the entrance they give you a free audio guide with headphones in several languages. They also have seats in different areas so you can rest while listening to it. My favorite part is the tombs of Elizabeth I, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Poets' Corner. One hour before closing, they block access to the Jubilee area, so if you want to see it, organize your time so you don't miss it. At the exit, there is a souvenir shop and bathrooms inside the complex. It is quite wheelchair accessible, although you would need help with a few steps. Recommended.

This was a great tour. I wish the guided devide they provide spoke more on the History, but overall was a great help in walking through each section. Please note some areas are tight and small and some have no air circulation. Bring one of those handheld fans if you think you will need it. And if you are sensitive to smells, well...hold your breathe. Also, be respectful with your choice of clothing. Woman should not be half naked, showing cleavage, showing belly button, etc. This is a place of worship. I am all for dressing for the weather, but bring something to cover up inside.

This combo was fantastic value and so easy to book. The London Eye gave us incredible panoramic views of the city — we could spot Big Ben, the Shard, and Buckingham Palace from the top. The Thames River Cruise was a perfect way to relax afterward, with a great guide sharing fun facts about the landmarks along the river. Booking both together saved us money and time, and the whole day felt seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this combo for anyone visiting London for the first time!"

The river cruise was amazing! We sailed on a spacious boat with large windows, accompanied by a very experienced tour guide who gave detailed commentary on the landmarks along the Thames. I felt completely relaxed and immersed in the scenery. After the cruise, we continued our adventure with a visit to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich as our final stop. Big thanks to Headout for bringing us such a wonderful morning!

The London Eye was great. I. Was very disappointed with the river cruise. I was near the front to get a good upstairs seat. When I got up there it was full. It turns out that the boat was preloaded across the river. It was hard to see where I ended up sitting. I was at the end of one bench that had a seat. The commentary was great and the cruise would have been better if I could see everything that was commented on.

Loved the ease and flow of the Thames River Cruise, as well as the ability to get on at multiple pier points at any time of the day. The London I was worried cause I was late for my 7:30pm booking, I was still allowed and able to get on past the booked time. The views at sunset and seeing the lights come on over London 10/10!

Magnificent Abbey with wonderful architecture. There are tons of monuments and tombs everywhere. The royal tombs are a must-see. 1000 years of history within four walls. The only downside is the interactive guide. It seems to be made more for children and doesn't tell you the important things.

The waiting at the entrance was long, at least 20 minutes, but it was worth it. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible interior. Everywhere you look there are magnificent stone carvings, stained glass, monuments and centuries of history.
