It was very nice to see London from a different perspective by the Thames River. I recommend the London Sightseeing Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich aboard the Thames River Cruiser.

Much better than expected, it wasn't just a cruise, we got the whole story on notorious sights along the cruise. Highly recommend. The only fall back was the cruise was delayed.

Relaxing and extremely interesting cruise, especially thanks to the live explanations by crew members who, although not professional guides, know how to entertain and amuse throughout. Absolutely recommended.

I had arranged this for a couple of Canadian friends We had a good day, enjoyed seeing some of the sites that I wasn't previously familiar with. Commentary was good to point out landmarks although my friend pointed out that the main highlights seem to have been pubs and bridges . Despite the rain ☔️ we went on the top deck to get a better view of London and as always it's beautiful. Will do more boat cruises in future, to different destinations 😊
