The fact that you had a reserved table which would have been welcome knowledge on booking . The view and comfort. The food quality . The staff . The commentary . We thought the wait time for the boat was a bit too long though .

The food was delicious and the service exquisite. I certainly recommend the cruise. I would have enjoyed it even more, if we had some information about the sights along the way.

We had a lovely trip. The staff were kind, efficient and informative. The food was excellent. The only slight issue was that it was a little confusing working out where to stand on the jetty before boarding. But not a major problem. Perhaps more signs would help?

Wij hadden de tour met Nathan. Hij had veel intressante weetjes en grapjes, wist perfect waar te gaan staan om zoveel mogelijk van de wisseling van de wacht te zien. We gingen op 3 verschillende plekken staan en doordat we steeds vooraan stonden hadden we perfect uitzicht. (veel last van stuifmeel van de bomen).

Watch the Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and then relax on a Thames cruise, sipping afternoon tea for a perfect British experience.

See Buckingham Palace's grand exteriors and spot other royal attractions like St. Paul’s and Big Ben as you cruise the Thames.

Feel like a real Londoner as you explore sights on your 1.5-hour guided walking tour of Westminster and enjoy a proper British tea with scones on the river.

Don't just see the sights, understand them! With commentary, live or recorded, you'll get the inside scoop on both the British traditions and experiences.
