It was a very pleasant and enjoyable ride this afternoon. The weather was amazing and the tour guide was funny and on point. It was time and money well spent. Would recommend to any one who wants to see a good share of London at an affordable rate.

I highly recommend taking the fast line because it makes a considerable difference in time saved, I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was already inside, I also recommend going at 11am which is when the attraction starts operations. They have order in the lines, it is organized and certainly buy your photo packages adding the digital version, they give you many versions of backgrounds and videos, excellent experience.

Can highly recommend doing the return journey later in the afternoon; the early evening sun as it tips towards sunset makes for some amazing views of the city from the Thames. Our skipper was phenomenal too, and made for a very entertaining commentator.

The whole experience was great, really well organised. The afternoon tea was perfectly adequate in fact there were more than enough cakes supplied. The staff were really friendly despite having to work to a tight schedule. The river views were spectacular, made better by the brilliant sunshine and blue sky. Also, the unofficial guided tour of the the river views was done with humour which made it enjoyable. I would recommend it to friends and family.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! We had the absolute pleasure of enjoying the River Cruise with a delicious two-course meal yesterday, and I must say—it was nothing short of amazing! The food was perfectly cooked, the service was so professional yet friendly, and the views of London from the river were simply breathtaking. What made it even more special was having family visiting from Mauritius—they were completely blown away by the entire experience. It gave us all a sense of peace, joy, and gratitude. Sharing such a beautiful moment together on the water reminded us how blessed we are. Thank you to the team for creating such a memorable day. A powerful reminder that life is about moments like these. Highly recommended!
