It was my first time visiting London and I wanted to take a cruise on the River Thames. It was a very nice ride, we loved it and I highly recommend it. The guide explained the most important monuments and was very friendly.

This was our first time using the online ticketing system and it worked flawlessly, from selecting our time to payment, all handled without issue. Checkin on the dock was equally flawless, with one of the crew members confirmong our tickets, and we boarded about 15 minutes before departure. We had a return trip to London Bridge so had ample opportunity to take in the sights and snap some pictures. On both legs of the journey we had a different guide/captain who talked us through the sights and gave us a lot of information to go with the sights of London (although being a return trip, we got the same information and jokes both ways, but they made us laugh so it was all fun). Boarding and alighting were hassle free. There was plenty of space upstairs for the guests and everything was clean and spotless. Overall it was a fantastic time, one which we will do again the next time we are visiting London

Exactly what we wanted from a river cruise. Staff at check in were super friendly and helpful and crew on board were great. Comical narration during the downstream tour from Westminster to Tower Bridge and even got to hear the bells of Big Ben right as we dropped lines. London is the best city in the world and getting to see it by boat is a must. Especially with these guys.

The tour was half an hour late and was only 30 minutes long instead of an hour asi dictated on the website. The tour itself was good with clear guide .

The captain's comments were excellent. However we paid for a tour by Greenwich and back to tower bridge . Instead we had only a 40' tour from and back Westminster.
