Our captain doubled as a very entertaining tour guide! He has us laughing the whole time and we learned a lot. Greenwich is a great town to visit for the day as well. We had a large group of teens and extended family and it was fun for everyone!

Website says you can take a one way cruise from Westminster to Greenwich. When I went to book only 2 way options were available. After 20 min of chatting with Viator (frustrating), the agent said she could get me a one way cruise - for the 2 way price. They were going to charge me about $100 for 4 people - I went to Get Your Guide instead, got the same one way cruise I wanted, and it was about $75. VIator shouldn't offer a one way cruise if they aren't willing to let you book it, and needs to improve their customer service!!!!It was a very good ride.

It was a very good ride. Spent about an hour thirty minutes (round trip) and got to experience the view of London at a glimpse. The weather was really good so that was definitely a +1. The boat riders did try their best with humour to narrate the scenery which was decent (some made more effort than the other). I just loved the fact that I got to relax and enjoyed the beautiful scenery 😁. Would recommend
