I had a fantastic time on the London River boat trip. The views of the city’s landmarks—from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge—were stunning, and the commentary was both informative and entertaining. The staff were friendly and professional, and the boat itself was comfortable with plenty of space to enjoy the scenery. It’s a relaxing and unique way to experience London—highly recommend for both visitors and locals!

Only had one free day in London and this helped me cover a lot of ground! Good commentary and sites. Wouldn’t say it’s a must-do, but if you’re on a time crunch and want to see London eye and Tower of London it definitely helps!

Really informative with knowledge of history and fun facts. We booked previously two years ago and came back to do it again and we would do it again when we return to London. The gentleman doing to commentary made us laugh with the things he was saying. Amazing boat ride. And a good price.

Great way to see the city from the river! Beautiful views and so much history! There are two points you can get off to explore or stay on until the end. At the end see the sights of the Greenwich Village and the Cutty Sark. Lots of great shops and food to enjoy!

Great experience with perfect weather today! Our guide was very informative and funny! There were so many sites to see and only so much time, but it was a great overview and let us see other points of interest that we would like to go back and explore!

We travelled Saturday 18th April and it was excellent. Shane, our 'Captain', was fantastic. He has the perfect amount of knowledge, humour and wit. It was our first attraction that morning and it set the tone for the day. Highly recommend.
