We really enjoyed the River Cruise on a very hot day in July. Seen lots of landmarks and the commentary by Sean from Westminster to Greenwich was very informative. The return trip commentary by Lee was hilarious as well as informative. A must do trip and the guys deserve a tip as you leave the boat as the commentary is entirely voluntary.

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.

It was hot weather but was cool on the river. And the gentleman gave a very snappy and informative talk. We saw more sites by using the River cruise and much faster to get around

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
