River thames excursion in London

“9 friends spent a lovely 3 hours on the Thames with Ingram. It was a perfect afternoon and Ingram was the perfect host as we cruised up and down the river. We got to see some fantastic wildlife as well as the sights of Windsor. If you are looking for a great trip on the Thames, charter Domani with Ingram”

“Our tour guide, Rachel was the best! We had just come off of a fairly active cruise around the United Kingdom with 14 stops and we had already spent 2 jam packed days in London. To say we were tired is an understatement. Rachel, tailored our day with some walking and a ton of history. This lady knows London inside and out! I really wanted to see Abbey Road. She even snapped some pictures of us in the crosswalk. We also had Sunday Roast in a little pub. The perfect end to a great trip.”

“All of the family absolutely loved this experience with both an entertaining/ informative facts about the Thames and its buildings. And then the exhilarating part being driven at high speed along the River Thames to a soundtrack....best thing ever.....thankyou Rocket team!”

“Thanks to Lester I was able to organise the best end-of-year ball for my university society. Our boat, Viscount, was perfect for our 90 guests and the crew were so helpful with all matters - they made me feel so at ease that I was able to relax and have fun with my guests. Since the event, I have received many positive comments about the party and the venue. Would definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely fabulous. Comfy padded seats - you need them!! Such friendly staff - the trip was just thrilling- a cross between riding pillion on the back of a powerful motorbike and galloping a horse - without helmets - and with fantastic views of the city thrown in. Would do it again tomorrow!”

“It was a lovely experience in the boat cruise riding on the river Thames, I highly recommend the experience to tourists looking for fun things to do around London eye. You can buy tickets online or in the venue but it’s cheaper if you book online.”

“A relaxing and scenic way to see London’s iconic landmarks from the Thames. The Westminster cruise offers stunning views of Big Ben, the London Eye, and Tower Bridge, all with informative commentary. A must-do for first-time visitors!”

“Amazing fun so kind and relli made us feel at home on a boat !”

“Omg absolutely the best , the captain is wat made the trip soo amazing , soo passionate, will travel again”

“WOW WOW WOW . I cannot express enough how good this was. The staff and the experience was amazing. I enjoyed every minute of it and will go many, many more times”

“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.”

“I remember I got last time to go back to Westminster and it was a great experience also worthy for me.”

“Just wow, this is a full smile experience I took the 45min excursion and oh boy was it worth it, facts about London for the first 20 mins then once part the magnificent tower bridge the throttle is pushed and you glide into speed. The rib skips the waves with grace as you power down the Thames. Just excellent and better than the boring pedestrian River cruises that you just zip by. Only negative& it is only the one, the intro talk before boarding is delivered with no pep no real warmth of welcome, is that improves superb, no one wants to hear within 10secs of hello that they will be fined £75 for improper use of the life vest.”

“An excellent cruise. Very friendly and efficient staff/crew. The food was good and carefully selected. Hoping to do another one around Christmas.”

“One of our most favorite activities in London! Friendly girl selling tickets at Butler's Wharf. We walked there after a morning at the Tower and Bridge. We spontaneously went to Grennwich which we thoroughly enjoyed, loved the boat ride, as did our 3 yo, and great views of London with funny commentary. Highly recommend!”

“We LOVED using these boats in London. This was our preferred mode of transportation. The lines moved pretty quickly, it just depends on how early you make it there. And how late in the day it is (sometimes they would be behind schedule and have to leave early) The only negative was that the experience varied every time. Sometimes there would be a tour, and sometimes not. Overall would recommend, though. A great way to see the city.”

“City Cruises runs a variety of Thames experiences—from classic sightseeing and hop-on hop-off boat passes to fancier options like dinner or jazz cruises. Their boats depart from well-known piers such as Westminster, the London Eye, Tower, and Greenwich. You’ll get either live commentary from the crew or pre-recorded guides in several languages. On board, there’s a bar stocked with drinks and snacks, and booking online makes things quicker and easier. Like any busy tourist service, the boats sometimes face cleanliness or service hiccups (often caused by the sheer volume of visitors). Still, the overall experience shines. Highlights include: A brilliant way to see London’s landmarks from the water. A friendly, lively crew—especially on tours with live narration. Dinner and jazz cruises that make for a memorable night out. A couple of things to keep in mind: Tipping is sometimes encouraged, which can feel a bit uncomfortable if you’re not expecting it. Double-check your booking details to avoid any mix-ups. All in all, City Cruises is a relaxed, scenic way to take in London. Grab your camera, sit back, and enjoy the view—Britain really is beautiful from the river.”

“Excellent cruise and they are so so friendly. With travel cards you get a third off. Highly recomended and no queuing. We had some drinks and snacks on board”

“Yank visiting London!! After the long haul across the pond we wanted something that wouldn’t be overly strenuous, but allow us to see some of the sights of London with a great dinner experience. The Bateaux London didn’t disappoint! We had an amazing dinner and couldn’t have ask for better service from Jason Davey our waiter. Seeing the sights from a different perspective along the Thames River was stunning. The sights alone were enough but the dinner was superb. We upgraded and did the Platinum dinner and well worth it! This was a great first day to start our trip and highly recommend!”

“Went on a very merry Christmas lunch cruise, it was organised through a local coach company but there were plenty of other people there to,. We were given a complimentary glass of bubbley on arrival then took our seat for the 3 hour cruise down the Thames while they served our 3 course meal, the food was very nice and we had a singer who sang Christmas and other well known songs and crackers on the table made a great fun day out.”

“Really great holiday. Cleaner than camping. More intetesting than a resort.”

“Amazing city tour company in London. Their services really professional.That's why I recommend them absolutely.......”

“What a fantastic and unique experience. An intimate and luxurious location to celebrate any special occasion. The service and quality of food and drinks was indeed 5 star. The owners are very professional and accommodating. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience.”

“Best swimming event I have attended!”

“Great time had, would do it again, hoping to book for christmas, great people and a great experience, seeing london from the thames you can't beat it, music was amazing.”

“We went for a two weekends Competent Crew course. Now, I spend all my free time watching sailing YouTube videos and getting ready for the Day Skipper, that's how much I enjoyed it. Nice boats, good experience, amazing people. Edit: and 5 months later we are happy owners of a Westerly Centaur!”

“Anthony was absolutely wonderful. So knowledgeable and catering to our particular World War II interest! I would book him again and for longer to see more. And the Canterberry area was a quintessential English town that was a complete joy!”
