Reviews
Highly recommend cruising the Thames with this service early in your trip! It'll point out places to visit you may not have thought of :) Additionally, the operators are hilarious, if you can tip, take care of them!
We had a lovely trip: Westminster to Greenwich and back sitting on top deck listening to the crew 'tour guides'! They made us laugh and appreciate all the history too! Thank you Mandy at Greenwich for welcoming us to the queue and keeping us dry as rain began!
Great tour and great commentary, thank you!
