The time slots are misleading this is not the time you board. Expect to wait 1 to 2 hours. Merlin executives should actually come down and see what a typical August day looks like. Why have a booking... See more

Company details

  1. Tourist attraction

Written by the company

Standing tall on the south bank of the River Thames, nothing says iconic like the lastminute.com London Eye. Because we’re right in the heart of the city, you get closer views of London’s most spectacular landmarks from Big Ben to The Houses of Parliament and even Windsor Castle on a clear day! Go one better than looking at the iconic skyline, move through it.

Multi buy ticket scam

We have just paid 200 for 3 attractions on Sunday and the site is saying no available time slots for the London dungeon so we will not be able to go. The site itself has availability FOR EVERY time slot during Sunday. You cannot see the availability b4 they take your money. Ruined our families London weekend b4 we have set off. Just seen so many others have this problem with this site also.

SNEAKY TRICK

I was booking tickets to take my 2 grandaughters on the London Eye via tesco club partners. I duly checked availability as per instructions on the clubcard/ partner website and availability confirmed. I then converted my vouchers to enable my booking and the availability was no longer there.
On checking the London Eye website it would appear that there is availability all week if your tickets are not being supported by tesco vouchers.
A mean trick by the London Eye, are you so profit led that you were unable to fulfill this request.
I am unable to afford the £97 and will sadly have to let my grandchildren down on their first visit to London

The audio lady who gave information about London just was shouting very loud all the time. I regret to book this trip. Her voice is so loud and it’s very annoying to hear someone just shouting all trip

Great day out.

Arrived early today and on checking with staff when I should return to book in I was told we could get on early as there were spaces. Really appreciated that as we were only on a day trip and the early admission meant we could explore a bit more. Not too many people per pod which allowed free movement and uncluttered photo opportunities. All in all a very enjoyable experience. The ice cream stall nearby was reasonably priced and the ice cream was excellent.

Abysmal

Regrettably, a planned break to London that was to include a trip on the London Eye turned out to be one of the most disappointing and stressful experiences to date. It was a display of total disorganisation, mismanagement and lack of customer service for which lastminute.com should be ashamed of. It would appear that the only interest is to take payment from the customer with no interest in the quality of service or experience thereafter. My wife became quite unwell during the wait and almost missed out on the opportunity to fulfil her birthday treat.

Considering this attraction has been in operation in excess of 23 years and charging visitors an excessive absurd amount for a relatively short experience, one would have expected that the booking system, timings and organisation of the paying customers and queue times would be well organised and minimal especially out of the main holiday season. Disappointingly, this was not the case. A pre-booked ticket for a specific time still resulted in excess of one hour fifteen minutes queueing time disrupting further planned visits to other venues.

Additionally, whilst in the excessive queue, a member of staff handed out a voucher for discounts on other attractions and experiences however, the voucher code expired on 31 March 2023, almost two months prior to our visit today, 18 May 2023.

Needless to say, my experience of lastminute.com's organisational skills, value for money and customer care is so low, I would rate it no higher than zero and recommend to friends and family to be extremely cautious and wherever possible, avoid lastminute.com completely.

What a rip off!

What a rip off!! Paying £40 per adult and £36 per child over the age of 3 for a 30 minute ride in a crammed pod deserves to be categorised under a new criminal offence under the heading 'daylight robbery without threat of/or violence'. If it wasn't for the fear of disappointing my 2 children I would definitely have walked away. Save your money and spend it somewhere else. Alton Towers offers a full day of entertainment for the same money not 30 minutes. And no 'I will not be flying with you again'

Rivet cruise and commentary 5*

We went on the river cruise. Very good cruise down the Thames. Absolutely brilliant commentary from Mick, very knowledgeable and very, very funny. Worth the money. Indoor area if the weather turns.

Stunning views above the Thames

Stunning views above the Thames. Efficient ticketing service. Clean toilets available in the ticket office. I appreciate the no food rules while on the ride as it keeps the place clean for all.
Highly recommended.

We combined the river cruise and the London eye. Both were brilliant and really enjoyable.
Luke, our guide on the boat, was absolutely fantastic. Full of fun and enthusiasm. A breath of fresh air when most tours now only offer audio guides.
Not only did Luke deal with the queue of ticketholders before boarding, but proceeded to give a witty and informative tour of London's iconic sights.
We followed this up with a ride on the london eye later in the afternoon...just as it had gone dark...fast tracked using our merlin passes and the view was amazing...the 30 minute duration is about the right amount of time.
Highly recommend both...just watch your timings.

Fun and exciting

Fun and exciting, que takes a while but the sights are worth it. I took my mum on the eye just before she passed away and she said it was one of the best things she has done.
