Our family really enjoyed the River Thames cruise. Keep in mind that the guide is a crew member and not a professional tour guide..but that didn’t matter at all. He was cheeky, funny, knowledgeable, and made the cruise a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this cruise to see parts of London and Westminster from another point of view.

It was brill, a crew member played the role of the tour guide and was hilarious, but this is a voluntary role and not part of the tour. They do it to keep up their knowledge, make the trip more interesting than just looking at building etc that we as tourists, have no idea what we are looking at. There is also a bar on board with drinks, coffee and crisps etc. We went on a complete round trip from Westminster took about 2hrs, great for someone with mobility difficulties and England's unpredictable weather.
