Buy the champagne tour. Relax in a lounge area awaiting your guide, as opposed to dealing with large crowds of people. The guides are great serving champagne or orange juice with a semi/private London Eye experience. Appropriate to tip the guides.

What To Expect

Travel independently to the lastminute.com London Eye, located near the River Thames, and take in this 443-feet (135-meter) high observation wheel. The Eye has hosted more than 3.5 million passengers since its opening in 2000—an average of 10,000 a day.

This popularity means entry lines are long, with waits of an hour or more common in peak season. Save yourself wait time with this skip-the-line ticket that includes a glass of Champagne during your flight.

Enjoy priority boarding to your shared capsule—an air-conditioned glass pod for up to 25 passengers.

As your flight begins, sip on a glass of Champagne (non-alcoholic alternative available), served by your Champagne host. Children are served fruit juice.

Then, soak up the sweeping vistas of London: The views can extend for 25 miles (40 kilometers). Perhaps use your mini-guide to identify landmarks such as St. Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace and enjoy your Champagne along with personalized attention from your host.

Champagne in the Sky

ella_b, May 2026
We had amazing time at the London Eye. I did the champagne experience package for me, my mother and grandmother. The workers were so incredibly kind and accommodating to my grandmother. They escorted her to the lifts and made sure that she had everything that she needed. The guide that went with us for the champagne experience, AJ, was fun, charismatic, and kind. He really made the experience even more enjoyable. I was impressed with the kindness and hospitality of the staff. I would recommend booking the VIP experience if you are going with those who have limited/different mobility, as it gives you access to the fast lane. It was very nice that my grandmother didn’t have to stand and wait in line.

Phenomenal!

Karla_K, May 2026
What an absolutely fantastic experience on the London Eye! The champagne experience was the perfect way to take in the breathtaking views of London. A special thank you to Arnie, who made the experience even more memorable. He was energetic, friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. He also took some amazing photos and made the entire experience feel fun, relaxed, and special. The views were incredible, the champagne added a touch of luxury, and Arnie’s enthusiasm and kindness truly elevated the experience. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting London. It was one of the highlights of my trip!

Great View, Great People

Mark_H, May 2026

Perfect end for a Sunday

Champagne dreams

Lorraine_C, Feb 2026
It is a wonderful elevated experience, with a bar lounge available to wait until it’s your time to go onto the London eye! Romantic and all the feels! Sophie made it a wonderful time with her pleasant demeanor and of course the champagne!

Super Sofia

Louise_D, Dec 2025
The sights we saw of London were amazing. Having a glass of champagne while we listened to our informative host and watched for the famous buildings was fabulous

Lovely experience

Joyce_M, Dec 2025
Had a really nice time on the London Eye champagne experience. Meghan, our host was lovely and gave just the right amount of information during our ride. The only slight negative was we had arrived very early to enquire where we needed to go. Although we were given correct information they did not tell us about the Sky Lounge where we could have comfortably waited while purchasing some refreshments / they lost out on some sales. We did find a nice bar fairly close by but it took us a while whereas we would have been happy in the Sky Bar. The Sky bar was where we had to actually meet our host but we didn’t knew that until we checked in and at that point we were told we didn’t have time to purchase a drink. However, overall it was a great experience and the night time views over London, with a glass of champagne in hand, were beautiful.

Great Time!

Heather_T, Nov 2025
Finding the ticket location was fast and easy. Waited for guide in a VIP lounge. Guide was AMAZING. The guide was fun, whitty, answered all questions and had great photo tips. Group was very small so it felt like a private pod.

Fun host, great experience

Anita_C, Oct 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed this experience from start to finish. We were directed to the VIP desk, and after checking in, we were invited to wait in the VIP lounge where we enjoyed a cocktail (for purchase) until our host Ellie gathered us together for our flight. She was entertaining and enganging and really added to the fun.

The Best Time!

Savannah_S, Oct 2025
This was such a fun and smooth experience. Our guide Mia was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!

Great experience!

Melissa_K, Oct 2025
Great view of London, Big Ben, Parliment, and Westminster Abbey. It was nice having a smaller crowd in the pod and a tour guide to hand you champagne, take your photo, and answer questions.

Karen_H, Sep 2025
Amazing! Highly recommend. The VIP Champagne is worth it. You skip the line, have a dedicated guide with a small group and Moet Champagne.

Awesome!

Theresa_J, Sep 2025
Very nice, great view! Emma was extremely nice, funny and informative! The people who check you in and the ticket office were really great!

Great Ride While Sweating

DON_R, Aug 2025
We loved not having to stand in line and our guide, Megan, was simply fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and her personality really shined through with helping people with their photo requests. We knocked it down a star for the temperature in the cube. We went on 8/11 at 4:30 and my face was just dripping wet the whole time. The ac was blowing a little but it seemed as if it was just stirring the air currents a bit. Unbelievably warm in the cube!
