Great to fill a day - Everything was easy to book and all tickets worked perfectly. Booking was simple. The Big Bus is great and The Eye everyone should try once. The boat trip was very informative l.

Nice ride! - Even though there was a long line, it moved quickly. They take your picture while waiting in the line. You can purchase it later( I didn't). It moves very slowly and you have many opportunities to get great pics of the city. Overall a very nice time. I had beautiful weather, too!

Good value! - The ticket includes the hop on hop off bus, London Eye, River cruise and 3 walking tours which is a great deal. The bus was great for the most part to get us around town to different sights. The commentary always seemed a little behind as we drove, I am sure the traffic did not help as it always had a lot of traffic around. The buses did not come as frequently as the other companies so there is a wait. The London eye was spectacular and worth the price and line (which moves quickly) views were so beautiful. We are traveling with our disabled son and it was a great activity for him that did not evolve walking. The river cruise was pleasant and we had a live person commentary that was fun and entertaining. We started the changing of the guard tour but our guide was a very fast walker and we got left behind so never made it to actually see the changing of the guard. We did not attempt the other two tours as we didn’t want our son to be disappointed again not being able to keep up. All in all this was a good purchase.

48hr pass bus/river/London eye tour - Hop on/off bus was really good! Allows you to see things & places that you may want to revisit at a later time. The bus ride is about 2/3 hrs and it really covers a lot of areas. I did the 48 hrs pass which included the London eye and river ride which only goes in 1 direction it’s not a rd trip tour so fyi. Overall no complaints!

I'm glad I got the... - I'm glad I got the package instead of buying each item individually. The bus was easy to use and took us everywhere. We listed to a pre-recorded audio tour, which was totally fine. Kids listened and learned stuff. We also got the option of three walking tours, a visit to the London Eye, and a quick river cruise. We only did one tour, which was great as our tour guide Kevin as quite knowledgeable and friendly. Wish we had done the others but we had so much to see and so little time in London. The London Eye was great for the views and we chose sunset which made it more spectacular. The river cruise was pretty lame, though, as it was just a quick trip down the Thames. I'm glad that we could say we did that but the experience was nothing special.

First time not a great experience - It was very difficult to get the bar code to work. Had to go into customer service which took quite some time. By the time we came out line was super long. The actual Eye experience was great. But again delays backed us up for river cruise also. By the time we were able to do hop on hop off bus it was 3:00pm. Not much time on bus and there were not able to punch our ticket for the time we started our 24 hour period. This resulted in not being able to prove what time we started to give us our 24 hour period. We could not get on the next day because our ticket was dated 4/16 and it did not indicate what time we started the day prior. Been on many Viators and never had a not so good experience. I guess there’s a first time for everything. We have more to follow and looking forward to better experience.

Impolite guide - No Panorama, just driving through the City in the evening. The Guide who checked out at the evening tour (7.30 from London Eye) told us to go back to the end of the queue?? we got in trouble with other passengers. It’s very busy on Saturdays. As we wanted to go inside the guide who checked our tickets still hesitated to let us in, we don’t know what we did wrong, we had just bought the tickets in the city centre. We got on the bus, but the tour was boring, no panorama. They didn’t hand out headphones. Too expensive for such a horrible service.
