Every time we're in London for holiday and if the weather is good, we like to take this river cruise to Greenwich for brunch or lunch. The Thames Sightseeing Tour boats are usually smaller and less crowded. They cruise along at a slower pace which we prefer. The crew are usually very knowledgeable about the landmarks along the way, sometimes describing them with a bit of British humor which is much appreciated. This particular day was spectacular, sunny, breezy and calm currents. Very enjoyable day out on the water! Cheers!

Great to discover a part of London that's a little less known to the general public, with very interesting commentaries tinged with "so british" humor! The boat is very pyttoresque and the number of participants rather small, which makes the trip even more enjoyable. It was great to leave Little Venice and arrive at Camden market to have a bite to eat at one of the many stalls. I highly recommend it!

I liked the commentary that went along with the tour. I liked how clean and organized the boat was. I had a very heavy suitcase with me and the staff was very helpful by storing it for me so that I could enjoy the cruise without having to worry about lugging my suitcase up and down stairs. I recommend this cruise to anyone who is going to London for a short period of time and who wants to see a lot of sites.
