It was so good My daughter and i went on Saturday 28th June 2025 ....mad hot... All that was needed was a lovely river cruise along the Thames to Greenwich in the glorious sunshine with a lovely breeze, after sweating on a delayed train from Manchester !!!!! The guy who was doing the commentary albeit not a "Tour Guide" was informative and humorous at the same time. Well worth the money as we did a single trip due to staying in Canary Wharf and didn't want to get tube/DLR.

Absolutely loved it. As a whole family of Londoners, we didn't expect to enjoy a tourist trip down the river quite so much, but the commentary was hilarious, and it was such an incredible way to see our city. Highly recommended!
