The boat goes all around London with helpful commentary, explaining what you're passing. This is the best way to get a good view of all the bridges and the best sites of London. The pictures we got of the major landmarks were absolutely perfect keepsakes! The regular scheduling of boats at each port made it very easy to explore London on and off the cruise.

The Sightseeing cruise with flexible use is a great way to see the essential sights of London and get an understanding of the city, as it grew around the river. The pilot and guides were very informative about the sights. Having the flexibility to choose our own route, and return according to available timetables made this a must do option when in London.

This was a great buy. We got a hop on and hop off ticket and was able to see so many sights because of this boat cruise. Conveniently it was also 8 mins away from our Hotel so we can go all the way to the tower of London and get back to Chelsea. What a great service. I would reccomend this cruise.

Soak in the best sights that London has to offer on a Thames River cruise on a 24-hour Hop-on Hop-off boat, and take as many trips as you want in a day.
