I loved the lively and amusing explanations of the sites along the Thames delivered by a crew member (rather than an audio guide). It was also nice that we could purchase drinks and snacks on the boat.

I had a fabulous time on the cruise. I appreciated the flexible departure times - I simply walked up and got on the very next available boat, which made planning my whole travel day stress-free! The crew member who served as the "guide" was especially entertaining, sharing interesting facts with a dry sense of humor that had me laughing the whole time.

The opportunity to get a great explication about the surroundings during the trip is wonderful. And also sitting on top in the sun was lovely. The only thing that wasn't clear is that the boat takes 20 minutes before leaving again. Because of that we weren't able to go to Westminster as well. If people want to use this way of exploring Londen it is better that they have all day in stead of limited time like us. We had from 10 am till 15.30 pm and that was not enough. To go to both Greenwich and Westminster.

Excellent--good facilities on board and good crew. Good clean boat. Lovely live commentary--most important as London is so interesting. BUT confusion over timetables and operators when booked on line. Thames river cruises times different to City cruises

Enjoyed the flexible running of the Thames cruise offering 4 stops and the ability to get off and back on at leisure.A bonus was the insightful and amusing commentary offered by the crew along the cruise.
