It's okay. There was a queue but it moves fast. A nice way to spend the afternoon in an air-conditioned environment especially during hot summers in London.

Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.

The sightseeing plus lunch was deffo recommended didnt have high expectation for this excursion hut i was amazed mostly bcos i think they let me sit with the best view till i complained that they put me on a seat near where you can feel the engine. But the service, staff, views , commentary guide was 10/10 . Theres starter, main course and dessert everything taste so good

I had booked the 48 hours Tour and had a wonderful experience with Big Bus service and the river cruise. You can hop on and hop off the places you like to visit and it it well connected to all tourist attractions and all also Train stations and Underground so that you can get back to your hotel. I would definitely recommended getting this for your London Tour

Tower Bridge is a world-renowned landmark. Crossing the bridge itself is free, but you can purchase additional tickets to go up into the towers and enjoy panoramic views of both banks of the River Thames.

A meaningful trip with supportive tour guides and stadium staff who are also friendly and flexible. It was truly meaningful to be able to stand on the pitch and stay close to the official location where matches take place.

The Uber Boat itself is a fast mode of transportation, and it's also a great opportunity to see various attractions along the river. I used it from Greenwich Pier to Millwall Pier, and the price was reasonable.
