Fantastic 5.0
It's so convenient to buy and use immediately! Buying Saturday tickets on Klook was cheaper than buying them on-site. I participated in a 30-minute guided tour, and London Expert Zia explained the history of each bridge in detail, which was very interesting! You definitely have to check out the restrooms!

I purchased a 4-day pass. You need to install the Go City app and link your pass to it. After that, you can simply scan the QR code directly at the entrance of each attraction to enter, which is very convenient. You can even make attraction reservations directly through the Go City app, making the whole experience hassle-free. Basically, visiting two to three attractions per day already makes the pass worth the price.

Easy to reserve on the app and was able to save some money. However, recommend to reserve your slots earlier as one of the attractions (Westminster Abbey) we wanted to book ran out of slots 2 days before so we had to book another attraction.

Easier to use than expected. You can just scan to enter. For the London Eye, you need to book in advance, but they didn't even check the time (we arrived on time). They don't check passports anywhere in England, so you don't need to carry it; it's heavy.

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

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.

Excellent tour of London's major sites. A lot of walking involved so come prepared for several hours of walking. Guide was extremely knowledgeable about history and had a lot of interesting stories.

Great 4.0
The view was beautiful, the breakfast was a bit less impressive and not as well organized. But it was still a lovely memory and experience.
