   Enjoyable cruise if you have time or if you want a couple of hours to rest your feet. Commentaries from the staff are quite good, informative and funny even though they insist they are not professional tour guides. We took up their Dec25 special offer of 2 day cruising for price of 1.

   Amazing Thames tour of London. From Westminster to Greenwich and back. Informative, funny and definitely well worth it! Also a really good way of getting around London with a hop on hop off ticket - sure beats the underground. Made even better by getting the last boat and seeing everything lit up. Highly recommend adding this any trip!

   Lovely last minute booking, a one way trip from Westminster to Greenwich was half the cost of the bus tours. Journey tour guide was great, full of fun facts with great humour (wish we knew his name, he was on the 13:15 departure on 21-Sep). Captain was also superb as was the bar lady, all great humour and character! Dropped 'half' a star as one of the boats had been taken out of action and that meant ours had to stop a few extra times. That said great view of Tower Bridge whilst we waited!

   For our family of four, the two-day pass at 49 pounds was a fantastic deal. The main stops included Westminster Pier (Victoria Embankment), Butler’s Wharf by Tower Bridge, and Greenwich, which was my favorite place to visit on this trip and is quite a distance from central London. The weather was perfect, so we stayed on the upper deck and enjoyed an amusing commentary on all the famous sites along the River Thames. I highly recommend this experience for a fun and scenic way to explore London.

   Really enjoyed our boat ride to Greenwich, fantastic value-£18.50 for a 2 hour round trip taking in all the sights then free time to explore Greenwich. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice Greenwich is to walk around and how much there is to see up there, especially the park and maritime museum. The guide on the boat was also very good- engaging and interesting information about all the sights we were passing, including more obscure facts. You also have a choice of sitting indoors or out on the deck.

   Boarded at Westminster Pier, as this is where the boat was empty, so more seating options. Reasonably priced at around £40 for a family ticket return to Tower Bridge, using 1/3rd off with our underground day travel cards. The live commentary was definitely the highlight, as the guide was both amusing and informative and talked all the way from Westminster to Tower Bridge, where we disembarked. Food options are limited on board, but incredibly reasonably priced. Toilets on the boat were spotless. The wait to board was around 10 minutes, and then actually leave Westminster once on the boat was another 25 minutes, which wasn't great with the kids in the hot sun. Fortunately, other stops en route didn't take as long. One poor man on the boat had what smelled like beer thrown on him from Tower Bridge above as we passed underneath (not the tour company's fault). I guess that's a hazard of sitting on the upper deck nowadays... Overall, very impressed and we'd definitely do this again.

   We had so much fun on this return trip to Greenwich from Westminster. The guide was hilarious and well worth tipping afterwards. We had lovely clear skies so went on top deck, lots of room (we did this at the end of January), but on the return journey we wen inside and honestly the views are every bit as good. Bar was good and reasonable prices. Everything amazingly efficient and clean. We could have got off at Greenwich and had an hour there before coming back on another boat but chose to remain and do the journey back pretty much immediately. All took two hours in total. Perfect way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommended. I am impressed how inexpensive the tickets were too!
