This was brilliant!!! The tour guide Tom and the driver Jeff were fantastic. You get to see most of the main attractions and then your off, speeding around the River Thames.

As a family of four traveling with teenage girls, this was the one thing that we all enjoyed doing. Great experience, from the very beginning, at checking, staff was cordial and punctual. We loved riding the boat with the best team, Joey and Mark! Joey was super funny and kind, and Mark got the job done! He gave us a James Bond experience as the driver of the boat. We will definitely recommend Thames River Cruise for your trip to London!!jow70

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Took my 15 year old son who loved all the information about the various historical buildings (old and new), and obviously the bit where you go really fast! Thank you Joey and Mark!
