It can get a little cold out on the top deck but it’s worth it to wear a warm sweater. The views and commentaries from the crew presenter were excellent. We enjoyed it very much.

It’s a beautiful and relaxing way to see London from a different perspective, with iconic landmarks unfolding one after another as you glide down the river. The commentary on board added a nice touch, giving us interesting snippets of history without feeling overwhelming. We chose to take the one-sided trip and return to Central London by Metro, which worked perfectly. It gave us the freedom to explore Greenwich at our own pace and then head back quickly and conveniently. Overall, it was a smooth, scenic, and enjoyable experience—an easy recommendation for anyone wanting to enjoy London from the water

This river trip was amazing. The boat was clean , the staff friendly and there was a bar, snacks and toilets on board. We left on time so very efficient. But the best bit was the travel guide on board doing the commentary. Not only was it informative from a historical point of view but he was so funny and current with regard to taxes, prices of apartments etc etc. It was a First Class experience all round. Viator are our favourite company to book these tours. Recommend them and the Tour company 100%.

Easy to use and see other parts of London. Nice boat tour and learned some fun facts about the areas. The boat workers were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend giving yourself enough time to enjoy the location if you are traveling with young children or elderly. If you walk slow you may not be able to get to your destination and back before the last boat. Overall it was a great tour and I would do it again.
