The London eye had amazing sights and not a long wait. If you have time to do this experience it's a must see on your list for London. As for the Thames cruise we ran out of time and couldn't use it so only get it if you know you will have time to use the combo pass to both attractions I tried to get a different time but policy is strict. The customer service was nice nonetheless when I asked them.

I highly recommend taking the fast line because it makes a considerable difference in time saved, I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was already inside, I also recommend going at 11am which is when the attraction starts operations. They have order in the lines, it is organized and certainly buy your photo packages adding the digital version, they give you many versions of backgrounds and videos, excellent experience.

Was avery quiet day in the Zoo as there was a tube strike on, but we were fortunate enough to get there by using DLR and overland trains and a bit of walking. Years since I was last at the Zoo, a pleasant day, like all of these places food and drink was pricey!

Well worth £35. We saw the tiger prowling and eating, the lions sunbathing, the rainforest experience was excellent with monkeys overhead, enjoyed penguins and lemurs being fed, the hippo swimming, giraffes being put to bed. The new African hunting dogs were active, and the gorillas were playful. Listened to a talk on capybaras. The volunteers were brilliant, with help when we got lost. Able to exit without going through the gift shop. Advice would be to find out times of activities with the different animals and focus on a few star items, and gently take in the rest, especially on a hot day.

Used the pass with my siblings. Worked well for the big attractions but some of the smaller ones we booked weren’t as exciting. Still, saved money and time.

The combination was ideal for children and teens. Varied, the sightseeing time not too long and the distance within walking distance without stress. Art and culture, not just to tick off the list, but to experience.
