Fantastic & exhilarating time climbing the 02. It was well organised from start to finish. Not rushed in any way. Friendly staff and Michael our guide was great! Interesting facts learned. Great way to celebrate my sons 21st with champagne at the top! Thank you!

It was easy to buy tickets and the queue was really short. I liked all the safety checks, it felt like they took care of the ride and passengers! Well worth the money to sit down and enjoy the views.

The time during the queue was not as bad as a wait that I would of imagined, when we were in the pods it didn't feel TOO crowded but a good amount of people within the space and the view was stunning.

Everything went perfectly. From the punctual departure to the Warner Bros. studio to the return trip to the meeting point. The bus and the driver were great, so I highly recommend them. I’d love to do it again.

No line, but a great view! Too bad the second floor was closed; check that out. Because of that, it was a bit crowded and there was no place to grab a drink, unfortunately. Thanks to the beautiful weather, the view was phenomenal! We walked from Tower Bridge to The Shard. It was a really nice walk along the water, too! Highly recommended

Overall satisfaction from purchase to experience. The price is reasonable. I bought my ticket a day in advance, but there was only one seat left, just for me, so I recommend buying tickets well in advance.

Abbey, our guide, was excellent. Streets were obviously very busy, so progress was a bit slow in parts. Not sure if this was the reason, but our tour ended up on a shorter route, not actually crossing the Thames and back, as was on the map route.
