Choice of inside or out was great as rain started and stopped. The sights commentry was carried out by one of the crew on and "Amateur" basis was well done ansd enhanced the journey, but would have been expected on a sight seeing tour - so not sure why it wasnt done professionally

Michael was an amazing tour guide (although he did say he wasn’t official and just a member of the boat crew). He made everyone feel safe and added some great commentary along the ride. Would definitely book again as we go a great view of either side of the Thames!

Booking online was very easy and we were able to board without any queuing . We chose a round trip and wasn’t planning on getting off at all , but when we arrived at katherines dock we told we had to get off and wait half an hour for another boat to take us back to Westminster. Also , we understood that we could get off at embankment on our return which is incorrect. Hence , our further days plans were rushed. So the company needs to explain everything in more detail. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed it and the commentary on the return journey was much better than the first part. Recommend to check before you board .
