The Best time

Published on Mar, 2025

Loved this so much, looked after so well by all staff. Food fantastic, crew were brilliant. The sight seeing and commentary exceptional. Highly recommend you do this in London. It was very special as it was Mum's 80th birthday, we both loved it.

I liked the "crew's commentary". It was fun and very British in their sense of humor, which I love. The staff was friendly and kind.

Excellent tour around the river.

I had a great experience and awesome time on the boat with my friends. It was girls day for us, which was our first time being in London. I'm glad we chose this tour. The food & tea were delicious. Captain of the cruise was knowledgeable about the history of London & he was funny with jokes. If I visit London again, I will definitely come back for this tour. Definitely five stars!!!
