    Very good out-and-back cruise of a convenient length and a reasonable price, covering all the main sights and with an informative live commentary. Would recommend taking the company's advice and arriving a good 15 minutes early in order to not be too far back in the boarding queue and getting a good choice of seats.

    We went on the London eye cruise , my daughter and I. We chose to sit on the top deck , so we could have a better view of the landmarks, the tour was made more interesting by the tour guides knowledge and her wit. I would certainly recommend this activity whilst visiting London.

    Neat way to see some key landmarks. Only takes about an hour and it also gives you a good sense of where things are so you can go explore more. Great tour guide, Stef. We sat inside (was quite chilly!) vs. up top, and we still had great views. Went with our teenage daughter and it was one of her favorite things we did in London.
