Rick
lovely cruise to do as a couple with stunning views of the city. the pizza was what you expect and the whole thing was good value for money if you like to get a few drinks in while going down the river. we went during night time in winter (4:30pm) and unfortunately the front of the parliament wasn’t lit but the rest of it was. we walked down to there other days and it seemed to be the same each time. Other than that everything else was lit and it was beautiful to see the city. I would recommend getting there 30 minutes before your slot if not slightly earlier as there was a big queue and if you wasn’t one of the first you would be unable to get a window table and end up being stuck in the middle of the boat.

Such a lovely experience. We were given priority with these tickets so got on the boat first. Staff were all lovely and pizza came about 1/2 way through and was amazing. Constantly asking to refill our glasses, beautiful scenery, really enjoyed every aspect

The pizza was lovely. The sight seeing was good especially by night. The only let down was the rude staff who took our beer cups before we set off as we were the first onto the boat and then didn’t get them back until we asked someone why others had their orders taken for their 2nd cocktails but we had ordered 20 mins before and still waiting. The rude staff members response was “we haven’t even been moving for 20 minutes”. The mixture of cocktails and beer cruises together made it quite chaotic and slow service.
