Had a really fantastic trip to Greenwich and back. The boat travels at the perfect speed to be able to absorb all the sights along the Thames. The commentary, to say the guys aren’t proper tour guides, was very informative, funny and full of insight. Would highly recommend this trip.

The best bit of my weekend break!! The crew were brilliant - from doing whatever they could to seat us together as a family, allowing us to store our luggage on board for the duration (this was our last activity before catching the train home), to the comedic tour guide info!! And seeing London from a different angle, and learning a bit about its' history from the river was excellent.

The trip was a lot of fun. We had an excellent view of the sites along the river from the open top deck of the boat. The boat captain (?)/guide shared a lot of interesting information about different sites along the way. We were able to hop off at Greenwich and spend several hours there seeing the sites and then hop back on the boat for the trip back to Westminster.
