Nous avons réservé cette visite via Ceetiz et tout s’est bien déroulé ! Nous avions imprimé nos pass pour entrer, nous sommes donc entrer sans attendre puis au sommet nous avons récupéré nos coupes de champagne comme nous les avions réservées. Cette visite est sensationnelle ! Nous avons découvert Londres by night avec une coupe de champagne à la main en y aller à partir de 18heures (au mois de janvier). C’était magnifique ! En revanche, nous ne le savions pas mais l’établissement fermait à 19h (en janvier). Donc à 18h55, le personnel a rallumé les lumières et nous a tous pressé pour repartir au plus vite (les toilettes et la boutique étaient déjà fermés!). Cela nous a quand même gâché un peu notre visite (nous avions l’entrée à 18h). Donc renseignez-vous bien sur les horaires de fermeture. En dehors de ça, je recommande cette visite et également de passer pr Ceetiz !Aurore H.Jan 21, 2020
