I had a fabulous time on the cruise. I appreciated the flexible departure times - I simply walked up and got on the very next available boat, which made planning my whole travel day stress-free! The crew member who served as the "guide" was especially entertaining, sharing interesting facts with a dry sense of humor that had me laughing the whole time.

It was hot weather but was cool on the river. And the gentleman gave a very snappy and informative talk. We saw more sites by using the River cruise and much faster to get around

The opportunity to get a great explication about the surroundings during the trip is wonderful. And also sitting on top in the sun was lovely. The only thing that wasn't clear is that the boat takes 20 minutes before leaving again. Because of that we weren't able to go to Westminster as well. If people want to use this way of exploring Londen it is better that they have all day in stead of limited time like us. We had from 10 am till 15.30 pm and that was not enough. To go to both Greenwich and Westminster.

It was a really enjoyable ride. The hop on hop off experience was wonderful as it was used to travel around and get back. It was also very relaxing and a great day out.

It's was a nice way to see the river at night. Unfortunately crowded and very rude people onboard. Staff did a good job of dealing with people standing on seats etc.
