    It was my first time visiting London and I wanted to take a cruise on the River Thames. It was a very nice ride, we loved it and I highly recommend it. The guide explained the most important monuments and was very friendly.

    This was our first time using the online ticketing system and it worked flawlessly, from selecting our time to payment, all handled without issue. Checkin on the dock was equally flawless, with one of the crew members confirmong our tickets, and we boarded about 15 minutes before departure. We had a return trip to London Bridge so had ample opportunity to take in the sights and snap some pictures. On both legs of the journey we had a different guide/captain who talked us through the sights and gave us a lot of information to go with the sights of London (although being a return trip, we got the same information and jokes both ways, but they made us laugh so it was all fun). Boarding and alighting were hassle free. There was plenty of space upstairs for the guests and everything was clean and spotless. Overall it was a fantastic time, one which we will do again the next time we are visiting London

    The whole trip is incredible and magnificent. I love the view of Thames River so much! Travelling on the ship and enjoy the view of Tower Bridge is exceptionally beautiful and relaxing on a sunny day.
