London: The London Eye Entry Ticket

1.The London Eye Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 35,875 reviews · 30 min · from $39Our pick

Ride one of the London Eye’s 32 glass capsules for about 30 minutes, reaching 135 meters above the Thames. Choose standard or fast-track admission, depending on the ticket you book. A free guide app for iOS and Android can help you identify sights, while the slow-moving wheel gives you time to look around and take photos.

“Phillip our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and was patient with us - even when we had an elderly person. He went through Westminster Abbey and explained all the historical events that led to the creation. Then we explored Westminster streets crossing St James and then Buckingham Palace. All in all a good and informative guide. Wishes he spent more time explaining Big Ben but it was a great 4 hours of illustrating the importance of England”

Just a few heads up, the no pictures rule is strictly enforced, no big deal though, it lets you live in the moment. Also, the ticket office is on the side of Buckingham Palace just off of Spur Road. The tour is also self guided with a video phone and headphones provided to use in the tour. Definitely worth the time!”
