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.

The guide was very informative (even though he invented the origin of the word 'wharf' 🤔) And the river is a good vantage point to see the buildings and architecture.

We took the first boat trip at 10.10am with only a few other people. The guide spoke clearly and took us along in a humorous way. The view from the boat is very special.Carleen

We took the Thames River cruise from Westminster Pier to Greenwich. It was really lovely sitting on the top deck in the sun, even with the seagulls keeping us company. The tour commentary was really interesting, informative and at times humourous. Id definitely recommend this, and by booking online we also got a discounted price for tickets.

Such a worthwhile thing to do, and a great way to see the magnificent architecture of both old and new alike. The crew and staff were great and the whole process from ticket ordering to boarding and disembarking was well organised. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend as well as do again ourselves.
