Hello, After having booked the tickets for the London Eyes, I recommend the experience, but I find that the ticket remains expensive for just 30min of wheel, even if the sight from the top of this one remains impregnable. I would recommend this activity, especially at night.

The process was so smooth that we almost couldn't believe it. We had pre-ordered tickets but there wasn't a long queue. Maybe 5 minutes waiting time. We were there during the week and the weather was medium. It is barrier-free and the staff put ramps in front of the gondolas so that nothing can happen. Can only be recommended

The staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. They carried out their duties in a professional - but friendly and welcoming way. Check-in was simple, the gentlemen at the security check were thorough but did not cause me any stress ahead of my long awaited experience. As it turned out, I was so excited I left my backpack behind me at the checkpoint and only realised this when the doors of my gondola were closing. The team loading visitors into the gondolas assured me that the bag would be put aside and kept with care. The expeirence on the London Eye itself was fantastic. There were four of us in the gondola and the other couple (featuring a wheelchair user) and my sister and I rotated positions in the gondola so we all got to see every angle throughout the flight. When we disembarked, it was a simple process to get back to the security checkpoint and when I told the person at the checkpoint that I had forgotten my bag, he asked some questions to verify that I really did know the bag in question. I then signed for the bag and we were good to go. SUPER EXPERIENCE and would highly recommend doing it on a clear day in November.

Was upset to learn eye was not working due to weather but we were taken to vip lounge and had a couple of drinks and then the eye open again. We were there for our daughter for her 21st birthday. Tia our host looked after us from start to finish- she was great and very knowledgeable when we had questions for her.
