Worth every moment. A spectacular River Thames cruise weaving through London’s lights, past iconic silhouettes, and toward Greenwich at 0° latitude. Entertaining emcees, engaging anecdotes, and a changing panorama create a living postcard you can feel with every breath of the river breeze. An immersive voyage that pairs guided moments with space to savor the view, ending at Greenwich where time and geography converge.

Informative tour but the staff will mention themselves they are primarily boat operators and not tour guides. That said we learned a lot.

Weather a little humid but we were able to stay outside on deck to admire the monuments. Too bad we didn't get the comments in French.
