Very good commentary and return trip worked well going to Butler Wharf where we could catch any boat back so had a little coffee and browsing time. Definitely the best way to see some London landmarks at a reasonable price

Great experience. The boat ride takes you past Londons most amazing famous buildings. The close views are breathtaking. The commentary during the ride also great. Well explained when talking about certain buildings and their history.

We travelled Saturday 18th April and it was excellent. Shane, our 'Captain', was fantastic. He has the perfect amount of knowledge, humour and wit. It was our first attraction that morning and it set the tone for the day. Highly recommend. From the 4 Irish Girls

We were a group of 5 adults and 2 kids (4 years and 9 years). This was a great trip. It was the perfect amount of time, and our guide was fantastic (I regret not getting his name!) - the perfect balance of wittiness, interesting information/gossip, and history. I think this would be fun for any group, any age. We got to see a lot of the main sights of London and to hear different, interesting tidbits about other sites, and some history about all. There is a bar on the boat as well, with food and drinks for both adults and kids. Just fantastic all around!
