5.00Lovely 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.

3.00Enjoyed the sites on a beaytiful day, but: This was represented as a one hour round trip from West minster Pier to Tower Hill and Return. Actually it was 1/2 hour to "Tower Hill", but the other side of the river. We expected to exit the boat and immediately board another boat back to Westminster Pier so we could continue with Westminster Area sights and timed entry to Abbey. No! Instead there is noting interesting to see there and the next boat back was 1 hour and 10 min later, returning too late for our scheduled entries. Had to take a taxi back to Westminster Abbey. Disappointing.
