Excellent Thames cruise
Good tour. Lots of good information on the way out, less so on the return trip from Greenwich. We booked the tour with the understanding that it was guided, but the guides stressed that their commentary was “voluntary.” It was comfortable and not too crowded.

Top Notch and Friendly
So easy to navigate and the staff were super friendly. Well worth the money. You can hop off and explore at the stops and then hop back on.

Fun, factful, and humorous
The whole family enjoyed the tour, with information I was not aware of about London sights. Good sense of humour too, though one joke about the Mayor of London was too political and should have been avoided. Pricing was fair.

Reposant et intéressant
Reposant et intéressant. On découvre au travers de cette visite la connection de Londres avec son fleuve et l influence que cela a eu sur la construction de la ville. On voit le Londres politique des affaires celui du commerce et notamment avec ses colonies à l'époque. On voit aussi.un Londres de l industrie puis post industriel. Il y a aussi ce côté scientifique avec les découvertes passionnant aussi avec toutes architectures que cela représentent. A faire

The actual boat ride is lovely. Seeing some of London from the river is worthwhile. The actual experience on the boat is ok. The bar takes only cash which is a bit ridiculous. The commentary goes on for far too long and the lack of a safety talk until the third stop was poor. The young man scanning tickets had nothing to identify himself as a worker for the company with no lanyard, all a bit unprofessional.

Very enjoyable river cruise!
What a great way to see the "river" side of London! The boat was very comfortable. The operator gave us great narration throughout the cruise. Would definitely recommend as a way to see a different side of London.

Beautiful sights to see and informative too.
This is a great little cruise. The commentary onboard is very informative and sometimes funny ( Depends on the individual ) If you fancy a smooth lazy cruise and are interested in London landmarks then this is the one for you.

perfect to get a good overview - if your english is not fluent it's sometimes difficult to follow and get the jokes. I had read, that the explenations were held in different languages, but it wasn't the case

Knowledgable but Negative
Guide made a lot of negative comments about banks, what COVID did to many empty apartments, trashing politicians, etc. First half was good. Last third till Greenwich was quiet.

Fun commentary- great trip
Couldn’t have been easier. Busy but not unduly crowded. Lots of sights pointed out with laid back and fun commentary. Loads to do at Greenwich. Very reasonably priced.

Worth every penny
Really good, highly recommend. Good informative commentary but not drab - the host was engaging and funny. Also friendly bartender

Ok
Entertaining but scarcely exhaustive gossip about the river and surrounds. While the commentary was included in the price, it was spoiled by the incessant requests for tips “because we are riverboat men who do the commentary on a voluntary basis”

Relax and enjoy
Lovely relaxed tour. Due to circumstances we needed up running late and made it in the last minute and they were happy to board us.

Needs some improvement
Once on the boat, things were okay--though it was a little too crowded for my liking. The commentators did an excellent job of presenting. However, l was VERY unhappy with the directions, or lack thereof, that this app gives in regards to where we were to meet. "Westminster Pier" really doesn't suffice. Where on the dock? Do l go directly to the ticket booth? Am l meeting with a specific group? That was unclear, and when l inquired, workers were also unclear. In the end, l obviously figured it out. But l was stressed in the meantime.

Must do trip!
Really informative with knowledge of history and fun facts. We booked previously two years ago and came back to do it again and we would do it again when we return to London. The gentleman doing to commentary made us laugh with the things he was saying. Amazing boat ride. And a good price.

Fabulous definitely worth the money
Westminster pier right across from Houses of Parliament easy directions to the boat Beautiful sunny day we sat upstairs. Plenty of shaded areas and inside cover. Boat captain did a commentary which was fabulous telling all the stories of things in the past. Historical facts and places of interest. We didn’t get off the boat just done a return trip and it was so relaxing. There is a bar and toilet facilities on board
