Latifa – United Kingdom

The tour guide gave good background information on each attraction during the tour.

K
Kara – United Kingdom

Considering the London Eye tickets alone are around £160 for 2 adults & 2 children, the boat trip is essentially an extra £15 in total so it is a great deal. It was a beautiful day and the views are fantastic. The boat trip had a great guide, very knowledgeable. Overall, a great way to learn about London.
