    The trip was very entertaining thanks to the live explanations from the employee. The service on board is also great, you can order something via QR code which is then delivered to your seat. All in all recommended.

    It was such a blast! Our trip from Westminster to Greenwich was a great experience (including weather) - the boat is in shape, our guide was super duper funny and gave us many stories, the boat driver was giving us a plenty of time and great angels for photos. Thank you so much!!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

    Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Air conditioned. Super surprised when we were seated at the front. No tea or coffee was offered but food was lovely. Really a wonderful way of seeing London from the river.

    Booking ahead with Headout was worry-free and ensured we got in line for the cruise promptly. While we booked a return trip, it was the journey down the river that we enjoyed most. The watermen running the cruise claimed they were not official tour guides but their commentary based on knowing the Thames well was very informative.
