What did you get up to?
We arrived at the London Eye pier and were welcomed by one of the friendly members of staff. Whilst we waited for the speedboat, we were given our life jackets followed by a safety briefing from our tour guide, Craig. He was a great guide who made us all laugh whilst educating us about the beautiful landmarks in London including London Bridge, the Globe Theatre, Houses of Parliament and many others. Even though the experience was exhilarating, Nick the Skipper made us all feel safe whilst we were on the boat. Overall the experience was great and I would recommend this for anyone and everyone, especially those that love feeling of adrenaline oozing through their veins!

What did you enjoy the most?
The feeling of the wind going through my hair as we whipped along the Thames!

I am thinking about this as a 50th gift for my husband. I will be booking another activity in the city so wondered if it’s best to do it before we arrive or after we check out. Also, is there a place to leave bags if we go after check out? See more »

You can check in from 15:00. If you arrive earlier, you can store your baggage in the hotel's baggage area until your room is ready. If the room has been cleaned and is ready before 15:00, you may have access to the room earlier. Check out is 11:00, and you are welcome to leave bags on board if you wish to spend the following day in the city.

I can't rate this experience high enough. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and supplied rocket coats to keep us warm. Big shout out to Stacey she was outstanding with her knowledge and the fun way she put the history across. The ride itself was exhilarating and thoroughly enjoyable and the music complimented our experience. Absolutely loved it want to go again!
