Wonderful experience. The crew were very friendly. The commentator was very knowledgeable and funny - even mad the kids laugh at the dad jokes. Would definitely be booking again on our next trip.

Well-marked departure point, Westminster/Greenwich cruise started on time, pleasant and competent staff, spacious boat, interesting and humorous English commentary, small downside: dirty windows, had to go outside to get unmarked photos.
