This trip was fantastic. Really good value. The commentator was extremely knowledgeable and funny and really engaged with the passengers. The whole journey from Westminster to Greenwich took an hour and it was a brilliant way to see London from the Thames. Although it was cold, we were still able to sit outside and drink in all the amazing views.
Would do it again!

The Thames cruise was great. Even with less than perfect weather, we sat outside to get the best view of all the iconic places we cruised by. The live comments were excellent, informative and witty.

Great trip up/down the Thames. We did the return trip, despite it being freezing above deck the delicious mulled wine went down a treat. Great commentary during the trip and we both enjoyed it.

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.
