Recommend for a nice afternoon scenic tour.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alexandra T10 contributionsThe view was amazing.
George did a great job about telling the stories behind the different buildings with some pretty funny jokes.
The ride was smooth - thanks to the captain.
Will def. come again!Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Excellent service from all the Staff. Quick and polite.Written 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brook N4 contributionsThe views and trip were amazing! Our tour guide, George, and the boat driver, Dave, were both amazing, friendly, and funny. Incredible experience! The wait for the Eye was not long at all, and we had a blast.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gillie30Wales94 contributionsFabulous fun with Geoff and AJ. Really exciting and entertaining. Music really adds to the experience. Geoff really engaged with everyone.
Only criticism was quite a bit of double entendre adult humour which was funny but I had my 10yo daughter with me so not so appropriate 🤦🏻♀️😂Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Joe Y1 contributionBooked this as part of my girlfriend's birthday, the weather wasn't great but we had a great time! The commentary was hilarious and the price was reasonable. Only downsides were that you could only pay for drinks and snacks on board with cash on the day. Still fun though!Written 28 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- K K1 contributionDan was an excellent guide, knowledge and passionate. He engaged nicely with the group, answering questions and bringing history to life which made the tour not just informative but enjoyable. Had a great time!Written 4 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bulldogBognor Regis, UK115 contributionsWe loved this from start to finish. The boat is very spacious and clean and the seats swivel for a 360 view of the Thames. We were lucky to have a glorious sunny day so the water was quite calm. The afternoon tea is the right amount and very tasty. We all loved the tour guide’s comments she was spot on. My only negative was that service for drinks was slow and when they did arrive were wrong .. twice !!! I would definitely recommend this for a fab trip up the ThamesWritten 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christopher BDidcot, UK27 contributionsVery enjoyable 50 minute trip. Skipper was knowledgeable and fun brining lots of insight along the way.
Also the boat itself was very comfortable and, having expected to be on a larger tourist boat, it was a pleasant surprise to be on board a smaller vessel with c10 other guests.Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - AnnMarie M29 contributionsLovely cruise down the Thames with a delicious 2 course meal, it was my birthday so got a lovely message on my desert and a glass of fizz, lovely staff overall a great experience would highly recommendWritten 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathy Kos5 contributionsThe cable car staff were so helpful. I left my gloves on the cable car and Ricardo radioed his colleagues to look out for my car to return, and let me retrieve them. So cheerful and kind. They also directed us to the bus stop for Greenwhich. They go 'Over and Above' to help people. Fab London attraction.
Got the river Uber then from Greenwhich to Embankment, again, helpful staff and a good experience.Written 26 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Dennis BDuluth, GA683 contributionsAdd the one way Thames River Cruise to the hop on hop off bus day. It’s a great way to get from Westminster to Tower of London, seeing many of the sights along the way. It takes about 30 minutes. The bus is a good way to return.Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris C1 contributionGreat fun and an exhilarating way to travel along the Thames.

Highly recommended ❤️Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Heidi H1 contributionThis was a lot of fun and the captain and the first mate (tour guide) were so friendly!!! We left right on time and enjoyed the water views of London. Money well spent!!Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
