Full description

Board your pleasure boat at Westminster Pier and cruise to Greenwich to see London's historical sights from the River Thames. Boats depart every hour and journey past iconic sights such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, and the Tate Modern. Admire the pyramid-structure of The Shard and see other monuments from London's historic waterway. Listen to the live audio commentary as you sit back and relax. Benefit from the comfort of a modern but traditional vessel. Head to the open deck for panoramic views of London's landmarks. A full Westminster to Greenwich cruise takes approximately 1 hour, while a return cruise takes 2 hours in total.

Really nice experience - you get beautiful views of the city from a different perspective. The staff is really friendly and the “non official” guide gives you very interesting tips and info in a super funny way - facts you wouldn’t know about otherwise. I’d definitely do it again, with friends or family. Really good idea for tourists/visitors

Absolutely brilliant. The captain (who is not a tour guide) sounded exactly like one. Very informative and funny. The vessel was very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful. Bar prices are not bad, around £5 for a beer. I would really recommend this return tour. Thanks everyone, it was brilliant:)
