This was most amazing and well worth it. Everything was delicious. The staff was incredible. Definitely do not eat lunch before enjoying this excursion. The sandwiches and desserts are plenty full.

Didn’t know that the ticket was for one side as it was my first time. Loved the experience, me and my family were really happy. Made lots of pictures and videos but honestly the Beauty London is, especially during evening, couldn’t capture it exactly. Thank you guys ❤️ will definitely come back again 💕

Boat was clean and comfortable with plenty of room inside. Our Tour Guide Mitch was brilliant, took the time to chat to us before the trip, he was so knowledgeable and gave us some really interesting facts that even as Londoners were new to us but he was very entertaining at the sane time! He also managed to get the whole cruise to sing Happy Birthday to my Boyfriend!! 🤣
London Eye River Cruise

About: Thames River Cruises

No trip to London is complete without a Thames River cruise. Get the lay of the land on the first day of your trip and sail through Central London to experience a unique view of the London skyline.

Different Thames cruises offer both one-way and roundtrip options on a variety of routes with commentary from an experienced skipper, with sights including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, HMS Belfast, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge.

If you fancy capping off your stay in London and want to sum up your favorite sights over a pint with dinner (and more drinks), there's an option for that, too.

Looking for more action than a leisurely Thames River cruise? Opt for a speedboat tour for an exciting, one-of-a-kind way to experience the lively city of London. Or, use the Thames River cruise as a main mode of transportation as you hop-on and hop-off all about this classic European city.
