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!

Lovely views of the sights along the river. The captain and the commentator was entertaining even though they only knew random things about the buildings seen. But all in all a great trip to see parts of London.
