Misleading Title - The London Eye is not included and it is optional
KrutiPatel S,Mar 18, 2026

1.00Based on the title of this activity I assumed both the river cruise and London eye were included. However, when I got to the river cruise they informed me that “London Eye” was optional and that I would have to pay an additional fee for it. The pictures and videos of this activity showed the guy doing both activities. Because of the poor choice in words when describing this activity this is definitely misleading. On a positive note, Paul, the guide on the river cruise was funny and courteous.

5.00We had a lovely afternoon 1st we took the river cruise, Josh the guide on the boat is a credit to you, very witty, would've tipped him but wasn't sure who he was when getting off the cruise, all staff were very professional. Then went on the London eye, amazing !!! Everything is run so professionally and smoothly. This experience was purchased for my daughters 30th which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Watch out: mention of the London Eye is to deceive

1.00A scam, the information is totally confusing, they camouflage it as "optional" the tickets to get to the London Eye, when you get there and leave the boat ride you have no right to climb, it is as if you have not taken absolutely anything for the wheel, it is set to cheat on purpose. A disgrace.
Great Views, Not for Those Afraid of Heights

5.00The London Eye has great views of the city and is a fun way to see London from above. However, it can be uncomfortable for people who are afraid of heights.
River Cruise First Adds Value to the London Eye Ride

5.00I enjoyed my spin on the London Eye much more after taking the River Cruise first. It was easier to identify key landmarks at 400+ feet when I had seen them first as described by the superb River Cruise guide.
Fun excursion - Both were quick

5.00The combination of the River cruise and London Eye tickets worked out well. We went in December so it was a bit cold on the river, but not too much that we needed to be inside. We enjoyed both the cruise and the London Eye - the tour guide on the cruise was informative and gave lots of background on the sites you pass. The Eye has some fantastic views, we went during a clear day and saw very far out. The ride took about 30 minutes and the pods were not crowded so you had plenty of room to move around and see views on all sides.
Amazing and coming soon with family

5.00We did this on our first morning in London. It was so easy to book ahead and the Thames Cruise and and then the London Eye experience were a fantastic way to get our bearings, see and learn about so many London landmarks. Our guide on the cruise was very informative and witty. It was easy to transfer from the cruise straight onto the London Eye. The Eye gives you another fabulous perspective of the city. All staff were very friendly and helpful. So glad we started with this wonderful experience.
AMAZING!!

5.00Me and my family were helped by two very kind girls named Niamh and Iqura to purchase our little goodies, they were super sweet and helpful through the whole thing. Mark was also super helpful with helping us get our tickets to actually go on the London eye so that was super helpful!
