I'm not just writing a positive review here, but a general one. The boat was easy to find, but it certainly wasn't a 40 minute round trip and we had to get off at a station which we didn't want to do. Then we went on the way home (London Eye Pier) and one stop before that the boat was probably broken and everyone had to get off. At this stop, the guests who were already on board were only told that we should get a new ticket (there was a meter-long queue), although we had a ticket and we got it in advance to avoid these queues. We then went downstairs and nobody said anything. In the end we took the Undergroud back to the London eye because we were already 20 minutes over our timeslot. Luckily we got into the London eye and didn't have to queue, but we were really unlucky with the group inside the eye because they were children who couldn't behave at all and kicked the windows etc. However, this had nothing to do with the ticket from Handout. As a tip, if you book it, allow at least 3 hours between the boat and the eye in case something comes up. It was still nice and you got a perfect impression of London on the first day.

Good price and timing for the combo package. We liked the offer of free cancellation 24h before the event in case of bad weather. Lucky for was it was not the case. The 10:00 boat was very nice as we had live presentation of the main sites along the Thames river. However we didn't realize at the moment of the booking, that the boat cruise was actually a one way cruise. It started at London Eye and ended at the Tower bridge. So we had to run back to London Eye for our next appointment at 11:15. Obviously we missed the appointment and the line grew considerably till we entered the London Eye. But , at the end the weather was gorgeous so we were happy.

Purchasing through Headout was simple, easy and quick. My experience on the City Sightseeing: London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour with Optional Thames River Cruise was the best choice. We used the Hop on Hop off bus to get around and see the main sights of London. The buses passed every 10-15 minutes at the indicated points and there was always a member of staff to help us. Finally, we took a cruise on the River Thames with a spectacular view of the city.

As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea. We had planned 2 hours for the Tower with two children (aged 7 and 10), which was adequate. We spent the whole afternoon at the Tower. Especially in Tower Bridge, the tour through the museum and the engine room is very entertaining for the children with an accompanying activity.

Headout is really simple to use, in most cases you just have the QR code scanned as your ticket. It saves you a lot of money and gives you so many options. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to London. You can check all the attractions included prior so you know it will suit you. Possibly the best way to see London!

Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).

Review of Westminster Abbey – A Truly Breathtaking Experience Visiting Westminster Abbey was an absolutely incredible experience. To be able to walk through such a profoundly historic place — in its entirety — was something truly special. Every corner of the Abbey is filled with centuries of history, and you can genuinely feel the weight and significance of it as you explore. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring. The sheer beauty and grandeur of the building took my breath away. From the intricate details of the stonework to the stunning stained-glass windows, everything about the Abbey speaks of a deep and rich past. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, or simply want to experience one of the most iconic landmarks in London, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit. Unforgettable and deeply moving. Getting tickets through AXS (AheadOut) was also extremely easy and smooth — the whole process was hassle-free and straightforward. Highly recommended!

Westminster Abbey was sublime and luminous, as we were lucky enough to visit it in glorious weather. The audio guide is really well designed, so you can adapt your visit to your own pace. For the Tower of London, take the tube and you'll cover the 4.5 km in 10 minutes. Try to catch the changing of the guard. There are 6 of them and they pass right in front of you.

Visiting the abbey was memorable. Although there was a big crowd there was plenty of space to move around. I noticed that people were respectful many sitting quietly just reflecting or contemplating and listening to the audio. So much to see and absorb. Wonderful to see our own Ernrst Rutherford with a plaque on the floor. We also enjoyed the afternoon tea in the cafe.

The queue is exceptionally well organized; if you arrive around the time on tyour ticket, you will inmediately be let in. The crowd is a bit much, making walking thorugh the narrow spaces sometimes complicated and not leaving enough time to view special corners like the tombs of Queens Mary and Elizabeth. The audioguide is ok, but could be better if it dealt more in depth with historic questions (perhaps and additional chapter for those interested?) Walking into the abbey is like walking into history itself and being able to relieve it from the present. All this is a bit lost because of the size of the crowd and the way they sometimes behave (as an example: I saw a family happily walk over the memorial stone for Churchill at the exit, not because the were not paying attention to where they went, but because they made a point out of it and filmed each and every member doing it)

We loved our visit to St. Paul's Cathedral!! Don't forget to bring your paper tickets, their system can not read the Head Out virtual tickets! Virtual tickets were fine at Westminster. Go to the top of St. Paul's!...best views! The 2nd tier has a wonderful explanation of Paul's ministry matching the paintings on the ceiling. Loved it!!

I liked : - how easy it was to buy a ticket, - how easy it was to enter the Abbey, - the ease of use of the audioguide, which is also very well documented. I did regret that we weren't informed that a service was taking place during the chosen time slot, which prevented us from discovering the nave from its best angles. All in all, a great experience!

We are more than satisfied. The tour is really interesting and highly recommended. We saw a lot and learned great stories and details. Also very flexible. We had booked the English tour by mistake. This was sorted out on the spot in 5 minutes and we were then able to join the tour with a German-speaking guide. Bossa was great and gave us lots of interesting information. Top all round. Highly recommended, especially our guide
