    We really enjoyed the Thames River cruise with lunch. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. We cruised up the Thames during the lunch with background music and wonderful views. Then after lunch, the boat turned round to head back down the Thames and we enjoyed a detailed commentary. We were able to go upstairs on deck to enjoy the views with plenty of photo opportunities. Would definitely book this again.

    The cruise on the Thames provides a different view of some of the main sights of London, which is great. The food was good! I would recommend a child's meal option for children under 12 and a more reduced overall ticket price for this age category. Overall, it was a lovely, relaxing experience and would definitely recommend it.
