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.

The ride on the London Eye was great. Super organized, despite long queues it went quickly. TOP! The boat trip was difficult as no one knew where to go and where we were allowed to go with the ticket. So we only went from London Eye to Tower Bridge. But this trip was great. Super funny guide who explained everything to us.
