We had a lovely time out. Booking online was seamless and getting our tickets was easy. The staff was polite and helpful. We also enjoyed a superb cut in the price of our SEA Life tickets because of our combo ticket.
Overall a great experience.
God bless you.
Great Day Out

This was an excellent day out. River Cruise has the benefit of live commentary from the crew which was laced with just the right amount of humour.
London Eye was very busy but enjoyable.
Only downside was that we still had to queue to change our vouchers into tickets but that’s the events rules.
Service and communication from Discount London were first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
