The boat had to stop service due to extremely high tide the day we went. However, the company that ran the boat honored our tickets the next day because of it.

My daughter and myself used this as our river tour while in London. Learned a little bit about the different things along the river. Can get a little breezy while sitting on the top deck (we went in March) so dress in layers!

Decided to see London from the river Thames with a friend visiting from Bermuda, Guide was excellent & great fun! We had a ‘hop on hop off’ ticket which gave us the chance to walk to key sights & then get another boat back up river.

I rather enjoyed the boat ride along the Thames River. The staff would explain different icons along the water way with recommendations of sights to see, pubs to eat ate and a joke here and there. I liked the light heartless of the journey. I also loved the hop on and off package. The staff gives a time table of docking and undocking making it convenient.

Very good. Easy to locate. The personnel very helpful. Not really hop on and off. Went from Westminster to Tower bridge and back. Guide told same stories each way.

A traffic free way to get about in London. No stress just sit back and enjoy the views. On the quays the staff need to be more active and inform passengers of where to go and better signage would help also. That said an enjoyable trip.
