5.00What an absolutely fantastic experience. Despite starting our climb in hailstones then having to be brought down due to thunder and lightening we eventually completed our climb. Our first guide Jamie was a laugh but our second guide Courtney was a step above.

5.00I booked this experience to do with my dad to celebrate his 80th birthday. Humphrey was our guide and I have to say he was brilliant. The safety briefing was clear and he made sure that we were properly kitted out prior to the climb. Some parts are a bit steep and he spent time with my dad helping him along. He was attentive and knowledgable and made the experience very enjoyable even though the weather was terrible! I would recommend the experience and hope to go again, maybe trying the yoga/ sunset experience.

5.00Eight of us climbed the O2 and had an amazing experience. Our guide, Josh, was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience enjoyable and reassuring. Some of us were nervous about the height, but everything went smoothly. We all had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great fun!

5.00Really great experience climbing the O2. Daisy was a fantastic guide and made me safe when my nerves took a turn. She really helped make the experience. The staff member who booked us in was great too with a great sense of humour definitely the type of person you need before starting.
Had the absolute climb of my life!!!

5.00I booked Up at The O2 thinking it would just be a cool activity to tick off while visiting London, but I genuinely left feeling like I’d just lived through the plot of a rom-com. I was TERRIFIED before the climb started. Like genuinely considering backing out during the briefing because of how nervous I was about the height. But then our guide Humphrey walked into the room and somehow every single lingering doubt instantly disappeared. The man had the calmest, most reassuring energy ever — confident, funny, ridiculously charming, and honestly so attractive that my brain temporarily stopped functioning for a second. The safety briefing could’ve been him reading the ingredients off a cereal box and I still would’ve been completely locked in. Meanwhile he was actually being incredibly professional, explaining everything clearly, checking on everyone individually, making jokes at the perfect moments, and somehow making the entire group feel relaxed within minutes. I went from “there is absolutely no way I’m climbing this” to being fully excited purely because he made it feel safe and fun. And then the climb itself?? Don’t even get me started. Every time he spoke I was fighting for my life trying to focus on the view instead of him. He had this effortless confidence the entire way up and somehow made everyone feel included and comfortable. At one point I genuinely forgot we were standing on top of one of London’s most iconic landmarks because I was too busy listening to him talk. The views over London were stunning, especially at the top, but if I’m being honest the guide was about 70% of the reason this became one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. My friend spent the entire journey home making fun of me because apparently I “fell in love halfway up the roof.” She wasn’t entirely wrong. Whoever hired that man deserves a raise because WOW. I would genuinely book this again without hesitation and secretly hope I got the same guide twice. Thank you for such a memorable experience and good luck on your future endeavours!!!
Brilliant
