    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.

    The online booking was easy and directions to find the departure pier were clear. The tour boat is comfortable and very well stocked for the journey - and the standout is the personable and knowledgable crew! Would book another tour with them in the future for sure!
