    My general knowledge is close to zero, so I was very psyched to learn about the app that helps us with near by monuments. Thanks

    Got these amazing tickets off of headout (even though I'm uncertain whether they were the cheapest). Their website is commendable though

    A scenic day touring London by boat, might be simple enough to describe your experience, but that does not do justice to what you’ll actually be experiencing. Relax and enjoy panoramic vistas of River Thames and its incredible banks as you go on sightseeing tour of London’s top riverside attractions.

    What’s more, the sightseeing vessels feature a live commentary onboard which is fully equipped to handle multilingual commentary in six different languages. You can lounge on the open-deck or relax in the comfortable cabin indoors, and with either option your stunning views are guaranteed.

    However, the standout of this ticket is the freedom it gives you to explore the city at your own place. With unlimited Hop-on Hop-off across select stations on Thames, you can take in the city’s riverside attractions one at a time, without having to worry about transport. Additionally, you can even indulge in the bar on board to add a certain sense of excitement and adventure to your day.
