Guided tour

    • Step aboard a 40-min round-trip river cruise along the River Thames, complete with live commentary curated by Historic Royal Palaces.

    • Immerse yourself in over 1,000 years of London history as you cruise past the city’s most famous landmarks, from the Tower Bridge to the London Eye.

    • Enjoy entertaining commentary, with a twist of humour and character, written by one of the co-creators of BBC’s hit comedy Ghosts, making history fun and engaging.

    • Relax in your choice of seating, whether you prefer the open-air deck, the covered outdoor area, or a climate-controlled indoor salon in London's only electric tour boat.

    • Make the most of your cruise with drinks from the onboard bar. Choose from a selection of soft drinks, wine, beer, and cocktails to sip as the cityscape unfolds.
