The ship and crew, very good. The commentary, very funny. But due to a problem we had to board at a different pier and could have been warned before by mail or by the app. The tour was shorter than planned.

Would be helpful too know you can also just get of at the Tower of London instead of getting a retour ticket or going all the way to Greenwich. This was not clear on the ticket

Definetly a more relaxed and refreshing experience than in a hop-on hop-off bus. But in quality of the narration it's not better then the busses. You may even learn less on that tour since it's more like a narrated ferry tour with several stops in between on a much shorter route. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice boat trip with narration.
