With your tickets on this Thames River cruise, you'll cruise, listen, and learn as your guide fills you in on the fascinating and surprising history as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and other British landmarks pass on by.

Want to stretch your legs? This Thames River cruise allows you to hop on or hop off the boat at a number of piers along the route. Get a drink at St Katharine's Pier, or stop off at Embankment Pier, Festival Pier or Bankside Pier.
