The most unexpected and joyful part of the cruise was the staff. I have never heard a more comic and sudden joke, "Please do not forget your wives", it was perfect timing. Additionally, the cruise was special, even in the rain, everyone on board was kind and ready to help. It was an emotional cruise as it reminded me of my late father, as he was the first one to show me London. I recommend the cruise to anyone who enjoys sightseeing and having a relaxing time with a juice or drink.

It was a great experience. If you’re booking online, make sure to do it in advance, as you won’t receive your ticket immediately after booking—you may have to wait a few hours for it to arrive. They also have a bar and food available if you’d like something to eat. Unfortunately, we didn’t order anything since we were already full, but we still really enjoyed the experience.

The cruise from Westminster to Greenwich was the most relaxing and luxurious way to get around London! Since we boarded after exploring by rental bike and on foot, the river breeze felt incredibly refreshing, and we were able to relax and enjoy the scenery. We were lucky enough to have clear skies, and thanks to the boat making a slow turn just before Tower Bridge, we had plenty of time to take photos together. The guide’s commentary was in English, but it was full of humor, so even if you didn’t understand every word, you could still feel the fun atmosphere on board. We were able to capture a photo of the bridge from a slight distance, along with a bird that happened to stop by the boat, making for a wonderful cruise. It offered a sense of wonder you just can’t get from traveling by subway, so choosing this as our way to get to Greenwich was a huge success! I highly recommend it.

This is a worthwhile trip. We went from Westmister pier to Tower Bridge which dropped us right outside of the Tower of London. There is plenty of seating and a cafe / bar onboard. There is loads to see along the river. It's recommend taking this trip

I recently had the pleasure of taking a cruise on the River Thames, and it was an unforgettable experience. The guide was incredibly fun and knowledgeable, making the journey both entertaining and informative. We passed by some of London’s most iconic landmarks, and the guide’s engaging stories brought them to life. The boat was comfortable, and the views from the deck were breathtaking. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this cruise offers a unique perspective of the city that you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore London from a different angle!

My feet were killing me from touring all day so we booked this cruise last minute just to rest. Best decision ever. Going from Westminster down to Tower Bridge as the sun set was absolutely gorgeous. The city looks totally different from the water. Our time on the cruise was really something else and definitely reccomend other considering this experience to book ASAP. Getting that close to Tower Bridge was amazing, you really feel how massive it is. It was so relaxing and a great way to end our day.
