Experience Days Attractions: Londoners and tourists alike will love this sightseeing package for two, which combines a hop-on hop-off Thames cruise pass with day & night entry to The Shard. Treat someone to a grand day-out and gain a new perspective on the capital – from the water or the sky!

Construction of The Shard was completed in late 2012 and its observation deck opened to the public a few months later. Situated on the upper few floors of the UK’s tallest building, it commands 360 degree views of the London cityscape. You’ll have the opportunity to visit twice – by day and by night – and can marvel at the skyline’s transformation. Informative multimedia displays bring the vista to life and you’re free to stay as long as you like. Back on ground level, you can head for the river and hop aboard a Thames sightseeing cruise – with regular departures from 4 conveniently located piers. Enjoy unmatched views of several riverside landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, London Eye and Tower Bridge. The flexibility of the pass means you can really tailor the day to suit you.

The Thames Cruise and Day & Night Shard Entry for two makes a great addition to your London trip and a voucher would make a wonderful gift for your sightseeing companion.
