I had a fantastic time on the London River boat trip. The views of the city’s landmarks—from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge—were stunning, and the commentary was both informative and entertaining. The staff were friendly and professional, and the boat itself was comfortable with plenty of space to enjoy the scenery. It’s a relaxing and unique way to experience London—highly recommend for both visitors and locals!

I don't want to complain too much on this one since it was almost free with my viator points. However, the guide said he wasn't an actual guide and that was clear. It was raining also no fault of the tour of course. We also listened to the audio available which helped some. Other than all that it was fine.

Great way to see the city from the river! Beautiful views and so much history! There are two points you can get off to explore or stay on until the end. At the end see the sights of the Greenwich Village and the Cutty Sark. Lots of great shops and food to enjoy!

Great experience with perfect weather today! Our guide was very informative and funny! There were so many sites to see and only so much time, but it was a great overview and let us see other points of interest that we would like to go back and explore!
