The speed of the cruise and London Eye activities was incredible Lo don Eye, the view of London is magical and the cruise takes us close to the monuments, giving us an incredible view.

The cruise is worth it. The organization and the views were very good, as well as the explanations of the guide. The only negative part is that the trip only includes the "one way". If you want to go back to the point of origin, they make you buy another ticket and pay even more.

It wasn't good that it wasn't clear that we had to change ships. And the one we were supposed to take wasn't waiting.

Great aerial view of London with just enough information to be well taught. Both the Eye and the cruise were perfect for our first full day in the UK.

Experience two iconic London experiences and save with this combined tour of the National Gallery and a cruise along the River Thames. Perfect for art lovers and sightseers, the combo offers a unique blend of culture and scenic beauty.

The National Gallery

Journey through seven centuries of European art at the National Gallery, one of the world's finest collections. Led by a Blue Badge guide, you'll discover over 2,600 masterpieces by the likes of Van Gogh, da Vinci, Raphael, and many more. Learn the intriguing stories behind these famous works, and why each piece holds a special place in the art world.

River Thames Cruise

Step aboard for a scenic cruise along the River Thames, London's lifeblood. Enjoy flexible boarding from four iconic piers and choose a one-way sightseeing ticket for a smooth journey through the heart of the city. Along the way, marvel at London's most famous landmarks, from the historic Tower of London to the modern skyline. Gain fascinating insights into the city's rich history and culture from live English commentary, or recorded commentary in 14 languages.
