This is a great way to see London from the water, rain or shine. It's a great way to learn about London and start to grasp the layout of the city before exploring on your own. We had a great time.
Good trip, would do again.

Very good experience. The captain provided a running commentary on the sites, and checked with the passengers several times on the clarity and usefulness of the commentary. I only wish the stops were more clearly announced (as in, "it is now safe to disembark"), as I wanted to get off a stop early. But that didn't take away from the experience.
