5.00This is the best way to get to Tower of London from Westminster area. Comfortable, easy, 30 min narrated ride. Very funny and informative. You can get off at Tower Bridge and then return later (last boat around 4:30) using same ticket.

5.00Fab river cruise. The commentary from the lad on board was informative and fun, actually very funny. Gutted we had to get off at Tower Bridge 😂. Boat was on time, boarding quick and efficient. Clean and plenty of space on a busy bank holiday.

5.00A very smooth trip down the Thames, about 30 minutes long, with a clear and funny narrative provided by one of the crew members. This tour passes several notable buildings and was a great way for us to start our vacation in London. Highly recommended!

5.00Great trip in May 2026. We needed to be in Westminster by 12.30, so took a train to London Bridge and walked to Butlers Quay in only 10 minutes. Boat on time, interesting 30 minute ride along the Thames to see the sights along the way. Beats tube or bus, more to see and a very peaceful way to glide along. Amusing commentary, highly recommended and great value for £14. Use the 2 for 1 days out deal if you are going by train!
Lovely sightseeing cruise

5.00Very 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
