5.00What an incredible experience!!! Hard work at the start and end of the walk due to the steepness of the dome, but once you were at the top, the views were amazing. A glass of bubbly at the summit went down well and our guide took plenty of photos (some with my own camera). So glad I got to do this
Great 90minutes of climbing with Theo !!

5.00Absolutely brilliant, well organised and not too strenuous, our guide Max was super energetic and animated, his knowledge of London was impressive and I learnt quite a bit, he took some great shots at the top which was very much appreciated, the views are great. I would say that £44 is a little steep (excuse the pun) but I had a great time.
Fantastic!

5.00Didn't know what to expect but what a fantastic experience! We had lilly taken us up and over. It was the hottest day of the year but so clear we could see for miles. Lilly pointed out loads of things to see. And was very good and reassuring. There is a platform on top where you can unclip and walk around and take photos. Highly recommend
Trekking across the top of the O2

5.00We arrived early and were very kindly allowed to join an earlier group, rather than hang around for half an hour. We watched the safety video and were fully briefed in respect of what we needed to know to make the experience enjoyable. Once we had our footwear and harnesses on, we had a photo taken and were ready to commence the walk. Our guide for the walk was Karl (I believe his surname was Withakay 🤭) and he was great. He didn’t just take us up and over but was friendly and sociable with everyone too. At the top he gave us an explanation of what we could see from there, and a bit of history too. Karl was happy to take photos for everyone at the top too with Canary Wharf as an impressive backdrop. The walk back down was straightforward, though some found it more comfortable on the toes to go dawn, at least on the steepest incline, backwards. Great experience all round and despite the fact I have double hip replacements and double knee replacements, no part of the ascent or descent was difficult or uncomfortable. Definitely recommend this for anyone who has a couple of hours free and can be rounded of with lunch somewhere in the O2.
Awesome! Glad we took the time to do it!
