    Easy to buy tickets online and the ladies at the ticket counter were friendly. We booked fir 4.30pm but got to the Pier early. Our ticket was accepted to fit our needs. The commentary was informative and delivered in good humour. A great way to see London and how the riverscape is changing. Thank you

    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.

    Great trip and the added commentary made the trip. A shame we couldn't get outside upstairs on boat but still a very enjoyable experience.
