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 staff was nice and friendly, I was late a bit because of the traffic but when I explained to them they understand, I enjoyed the 45min journey and see the bridge and London eye.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and was captivated by the rich historical details shared about the various sites, bridges, and buildings. The explanations were not only informative but also engaging, making the experience even more memorable.

Very pleasant experience, with a funny and nice captain ("not a guide, a simple member of the crew" 🙂). Easy to purchase the ticket, even if the ticket was not checke-in 🤔 If you buy a return ticket, half an hour is not enough to visit the Royal Observatory and to enjoy the marvelous Greenwich. Better buy a one way ticket!
