Great River Cruise

Great way to see the different sights of London! You get great views and you avoid the traffic while still being able to sightsee.

2 hour return cruise

Overall the cruise was pretty good. Didn’t start that way with google maps,(opened in the confirmation email) sending us to the London Eye Pier instead of the Westminster Pier, causing us to miss the booked cruise. When explained to the staff what had happened, we were put on the next cruise. The cruise itself was entertaining & the guide (who kept reminding us (3x) he actually wasn’t a Tour guide & just staff on the boat so any tips would be appreciated) was entertaining & knowledgeable. The cruise ran to time with fully stocked bar & snacks. Would recommend

Crew member shouted at me because I pointed out someone jumped the queue🤣

Been on board for several times but today’s experience is terrible and horrific. 1. The boat had delayed severely(3:30’s boat and we only set off at 4PM) 2. So when we were in line, a family jumped the queue, by standing next to us than slowly move forward. 3. When the staff started to let us get on, I told him that this family jumped the queue, we came first. (I mean it’s not a big deal at all and I am not demanding anything but I feel like I do have the right to speak that out). However the next second he heard that he suddenly became very angry and he started to shouting at me: we have 170 seats on the boat. I just replied simply by is that the reason to jump the queue? So why are we having a queue at all if u can just not follow it? (He’s in his late 40s, 6’7 and around 90kg and I am a female in early 20s if you are wondering) It was terrific and scaring. I don’t think speak out the truth is a mistake, as the staff if you cannot keep good order at least you can have some self control and manner🤣I guess he was just in such a rush and thinking me wasting his time but dear god I did not cause their delay🤣 Ofc that family later cared me on the boat and started to curse me and saying they did not jump the queue, they came earlier, “we’ve been sitting there at 35” they said. Lol. Me and my family had been sitting there since 3:25, and than I stand up to queue in front of the gate. Literally mentally traumatising experience🤣

Enjoyable voyage

Enjoyed the onboard commentary from crew members. Trip on the river was pleasant and convenient, even tough it stopped a couple of times on the way to the Observatory.

Brilliant relaxing cruise!

This was an amazing trip to do! From Westminster to the lovely town of Greenwich. Great commentary with humour thrown in too as well as interesting facts. We got to spend a couple of hours in Greenwich before getting the return journey back. Very handy that you can pick your own time to return. Highly recommend!! Value for money

Rainy day but still enjoyed the trip.

If you are sitting outside on the front of the boat you will be in the "splash zone". Bring cash only for food and beverage. No cards were accepted the day I was on board. Facilities were updated and clean.

Highly recommended Boat Trip!

One of the highlights of our trip! We bought the two day Hop On Hop Off ticket which gave us free rein to enjoy the trips as much or as little as we liked. Our hotel was on Tower Bridge Road and this was, without doubt, the best and easiest way to get Westminster or alternatively see all Greenwich has to offer. I can’t praise the staff enough - they went above and beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble, including repeatedly lifting my Mums mobility scooter on and off the boat!! The commentary given during the trips was not only very interesting and informative but also hugely entertaining and funny! There is a fully stocked bar to enjoy drinks and snacks and the lady who (repeatedly) served me was a joy to talk to! This is most definitely something I would recommend. There’s a few different companies but please look out for the Thames River Sightseeing with the blue logo above it. You get on and off at Westminster, Butlers Wharf (next to Tower Bridge) or Greenwich - you won’t regret it! I’ll most DEFINITELY be back!!

Great day

An entertaining commentary and a great way to spend 2 hours on a sunny afternoon passing many of the iconic London buildings.
