Definitely worth it
Exactly as expected. The weather was perfect and 45 minute cruise was a good break in the day. I never knew London had so many bridges. Be sure to wave to the people. The spiel from the tour operator was funny and informative. I was late for my scheduled time, but they run every hour so I got to go on the next one.

London Eye River cruise with Mitch
MITCH WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. It was raining the day of our tour and STILL this man managed to make everything he said very very interesting. He took it upon himself to explain all of the sights and share his knowledge of the history of big ben, the actual london bridge and all of the other sights very thoroughly. To my surprise, i went back to the Eye the next day and ran into him at the shop only to be greeted by a smile and a hug like a friend who sees an old friend. MITCH is a jewel. Hats off to you brother...
