Easy purchase, with clear directions. The queue, while long, was handled so that it flowed quickly, so the waiting time was not excessively long. The view from the top--it cannot be described!

It was easy as there were no lines. However, we did go on a Tuesday and only had two other people in our pod. The view was amazing and the champagne was a nice touch.

Thank you for making our experience visiting the London Eye so seamless in an otherwise extremely chaotic environment. Our guide was friendly and energetic. He guided us through the masses to our awaiting pod. We were lucky enough to be with only 1 other couple. I wouldn't suggest visiting the Eye any other way. More champagne beyond our allotted 1 glass would have been nice.

My friend and I did the Champagne Experience and it did not disappoint. The VIP Lounge is lovely and we had time to have a pre-experience cocktail. Then our guide, Owen, collected us and led the way via the fast track entry to our sky pod. It was not busy and there were only four of us on board for the last turn of the day. We got stuck at the top for about twenty minutes which suited us fine. Great views and nice staff.
