“We came to London in January and because our visit was short. I wanted to make sure we used all of our time wisely. I booked the fast pass ticket after reviews said that lines can be very long. I’m not sure if it was the time of the year that we went, day of the week or something else but there trally weren’t lines when we arrived so I’m not sure the fast pass ticket was worth the value.

3.London In One Day Tour with River Cruise & London Eye Option

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,678 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $177

Spend about nine hours touring London by air-conditioned coach, on foot, and by Thames boat. See the Changing of the Guard, tour St. Paul’s Cathedral, explore the Tower of London, and add a 6:30pm London Eye ticket. Guides such as Leslie, Sandra, Omar, and Sheila are known for lively historical commentary.

“Sitting in quite a bit of traffic around London. Access to church and tower was nice, however no guided tour in tower (which we felt would have been a value add). Our tour guide was nice, but not very engaging. While sitting in traffic, it would have been nice to hear more history or stories to occupy time. We use Viator quite a bit and was disappointed with this tour.”

6.London Full Day Sightseeing Tour with London Eye

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 716 reviews · 8 hours 50 minutes (approx.) · from $177

Start at Victoria for a guided coach tour, then enter St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, cruise the Thames, and ride the London Eye if selected. Guides such as Mark, Morton, Tish, and Zozo are known for strong storytelling, but the packed schedule calls for good walking shoes and a snack.

“Tish was great, but the tour was overpriced for the overall experience and sites. Changing of the guards was a waste of time due to our arrival time and crowds. We didn't see Westminster in our brief drive-by and the tour ended early based upon advertised time.”
