River Thames Cruise + London Eye Tickets
River Thames Cruise
The boat departs from Pier 4 of the London Eye. Once we've set sail, we'll glide along the River Thames among centuries of history and architecture. On one side, the unmistakable profile of the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament will rise. Are you ready to take loads of pictures?
Behind us will be the London Eye, which looks like it floats among clouds on the shore of the River Thames. Before you know it, you'll see the Millennium Bridge before passing under the Tower Bridge, whose Victorian gears open to let boats pass. Very close by, the imposing Tower of London will remind you of times of kings and conspiracies. Did you know that crows live there and are believed to protect the kingdom? There's a prophecy that warned King Charles II that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."
You'll also see on the horizon the silver dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, nestled on Ludgate Hill, the tallest point in London. On board the boat, you'll discover the city's fascinating history and architecture thanks to the English-speaking guide.
Finally, the cruise will conclude at the initial starting point after 40 minutes of sailing.
London Eye, Europe's Tallest Ferris Wheel
This activity also includes tickets to the London Eye, a Ferris wheel standing at 442 ft (135 m) tall, located on the South Bank, on the shores of the River Thames. Get ready to hop on the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe!
Going on the London Eye is soaring over the heart of the British capital with breathtaking views. For 30 minutes, the glass cabins will slowly ascend, offering an incredible 360° perspective. Take in the unparalleled views!
You'll see the River Thames winding with elegance next to the Houses of Parliament, the golden silhouette of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral. On clear days, you can even admire Windsor Castle in the distance.
The contrast between modernity and tradition will also adorn the views. The building from the Victorian period perfectly blends with the futuristic style of The Shard and the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf.
