Had a great tour guide that made the trip very lively! Enjoyed hearing the history of the sites as well as jokes along the way. This is my first time in the UK and I’m glad I added a boat tour to my list of activities! Would recommend to solo travelers but also saw plenty of couples and families! Additional: Booking was very easy and got it the morning of the reservation. I sat on the top of the boat on a bit of a rainy day so it was chilly but still worth it. I would recommend going on a warmer/sunnier day. Was plenty of room to sit on top and inside.

Didn’t realize purchased ticket included a set time. I thought it was good for any boat time. We missed our boat trip. It would’ve been helpful to send a reminder email of the excursion particulars with detailed information concerning the time.
Great boat trip

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 River Experience

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!
