It was a nice trip, we saw a lot. Audio guide could have been better. Blankets on the benches would be appropriate at this time of year. Otherwise gladly again.

It was very nice to see London from a different perspective by the Thames River. I recommend the London Sightseeing Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich aboard the Thames River Cruiser.

Much better than expected, it wasn't just a cruise, we got the whole story on notorious sights along the cruise. Highly recommend. The only fall back was the cruise was delayed.

Relaxing and extremely interesting cruise, especially thanks to the live explanations by crew members who, although not professional guides, know how to entertain and amuse throughout. Absolutely recommended.
