Day 2London

Breakfast at the hotel. Roll up, roll up. Get your combined tickets to two of London’s top attractions: a trip on the London Eye and a Thames River sightseeing cruise. You’ll save money on the deal and enjoy a day of panoramic sightseeing in London, the world’s greatest city.
London Eye: The London Eye is one of the world’s tallest observation wheels, with views over London from more than 442 feet (135 meters) in the air. Situated on the banks of the River Thames, it offers unrivalled panoramic vistas over London. Since opening at the turn of the century, the London Eye has become an iconic landmark, up there with Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and the Tower of London. It has been used as a backdrop in countless films and is loved by Britons and visitors alike.
Thames River Sightseeing Cruise: The best way to see the sights and splendor of this great city is from the deck of a boat. Aboard the sightseeing cruise, you’ll travel in comfort and style past London’s world-famous landmarks. The boats have open upper decks for great sightseeing and comfortable lower saloons. Relax and enjoy the views, onboard commentary, light refreshments and full bar service as London’s famous sights glide by. The cruise departed from Waterloo Pier, but it’s a 40 minutes round tour only, with a guide giving a full (and amusing) explanation about London attractions and its river. The departure time can be defined when retrieving the tickets in the London Eye ticket desk.
