Very comfortable cruise. Swivel seats a good idea. Excellent lunch, except that we were never offered tea or coffee. A simple map would improve the experience. This could be free, or a small charge could be levied.

The Thames River Cruise with two course lunch was an excellent experience, smooth boat ride, with wonderful viewing windows and a spacious boat. Impeccable service also, which all made for a superb experience. The food was tasty and the waiter was very polite and first class. You will not regret booking this trip to create a beauriful memory.

Staff were great and the experience would have been better if some expectations had been met. I thought it was lunch with tea and cofee for two. There was no tea or coffee and unfortunately my guest could not have the dessert because there was no alternative, not even a fruit. I think you should have some fruits on the boat so that if a guest cannot have the desert you can give them a fruit at least. Many thanks.
