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.

Great! We got off at Butler's Wharf by mistake and the ticket agent very kindly told us we could get on the next boat and it would make a stop at Bankside just for us to get off right beside the Globe theatre, our destination. Saved us a long walk or expensive taxi ride.

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.
