It's a fun trip by itself, but the crew make it even better. Sharp, fun puns all the way to Greenwich, definitely recommended!

The guy commentating had a great sense of humour with some good one liners i.e. the beach/research . TBH I definitely would prefer this than the pre recorded commentary, be aware he advised passengers to get the APP to listen to commentary and also in different languages. The boat was clean and very smooth sailing, loads of space on our trip. The only reason I didn't give it 5* was the cost of the drinks but it was my choice whether to pay it or not I suppose. Would go again. My grandson loved it.

Value for money, good multimedia guidance on app. Too intrusive live one on the other hand, definitely high speaker volume.

The onboard commentary was very good. I think it would be a good idea to have a digital way to tip the guy who did it cos most people don't carry cash these days We had an awesome time 😁
