I enjoyed it but would have enjoyed it more if I had of got to see some of the light show from the river, there were big groups that got on to 3 different boats before our queue got on to a boat, if they hadn't of been there then we could have seen the light show. Enjoyed the pre-recorded commentary and the views nonetheless.
