We would never miss an opportunity to take the Thames River Cruise! It is relaxing, it's a chance to rest your legs after busy London walking excursions, and it's absolutely wonderful to see the buildings and architecture along the water...fully explained by booklets with maps, and if lucky, an on-board narrator! The price is super affordable and because it is a hop-on Hop-off, you can customize it to your own timetable. There is a snack bar, so a little bag of munchies and cold drink or cup of tea make the cruise that much more enjoyable!

Tour is great, HOWEVER...Viator does NOT give you a ticket. You get a voucher for a ticket and have to wait in line with everyone else to get your day ticket. As I did not understand that, I waited twenty minutes in line and missed the boat and had to wait another 40 minutes for the next one.. No biggie, but I wish I knew

Awesome! Great travelling at the end of October. Loved the commentary, found it humourous and anecdotal loved just moseying around Greenwich Village. Had lunch and hopped back on and got out at St. Pauls. Lovely day.

This river cruise, with the crew's commentary, was both enjoyable and informative. It provided a good general overview of the bridges and historic sites along the river with the convenience of our scheduling we had a 24 hour pass. It was a great introduction to London, for us!!

Great way to experience all the major sights. We used it to just view them firstly then when we decided what we wanted just jumped off.They ran frequently enough to not be waiting long for the next boat

Outstanding is a poor word to describe this cruise._br/_ We had booked for this cruise while still at India, and the process of getting the vouchers exchanged for tickets and boarding the boat was pretty painless. The boat itself was a spotlessly clean and well kept craft. The commentary not the recorded one, but a live commentary was sardonic, with dry and self deprecating humor, and very very enjoyable. We did not do the hop-on-hop-off portions, opting to stay with the boat through the downstream run, and for a part of the upstream run. The history of the buildings, the waterfront pubs and quays, the bridges, and the amazingly built apartment blocks were entertaining and informative to learn about. _br/_ Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to see London from a different perspective

Loved the hop on hop off boat. Wish they stopped at more piers other than 4.

Was 40 min wait in between boats. Very crowded and people not listening to announcements to allow others to take photos

A fantastic way to see the city. Great guides, humorous and detailed. Great bar service as well.

We joined the boat at Westminster Pier and travelled to Greenwich, in glorious sunshine, and enjoyed the commentary provided by one of the crew! It was a great way to see London and to learn some interesting facts about this great city._br/_ We were very lucky and saw Tower Bridge open to allow a tall ship to pass through!_br/_ Our journey back was just as much fun!

We ended up not taking the Hop On, Hop Off as it became too late for us to use the Voucher after travelling from Canada, thus hopefully there will be another time that we get a chance to experience the Thames River Cruise..._br/_ Can not really rate this Cruise but in order to Post I gave it a 3...

We LOVED this cruise and our day in Greenwich. The tour guide on the boat was a hoot! And local to boot. He was really a boatman, not a tour guide. Everything about this day was great.

Great tour guides
Review by: Rodney123, September 2017
Great but the boats need to be updated more
Review by: Kathleen M, September 2017
We did not allow much time in Greenwich Village so my advice would be to plan to spend two to three hours there. It was a beautiful day to be on the boat and the ride up the Thames was fun!

We did this tour in conjunction with the London Eye. The river guides were very funny and full of historic points. We were_br/_ cracking up with laughter, the guide could have done stand up comedy, he made the trip worthwhile.

It was an amazing experience, thanks to the weather. But this couldn't have been memorable without City Cruises. They made it the best! _br/_ The live commentary is pretty neat. Nice witty jokes to keep the people involved and makes the environment lively. _br/_ Nice bar and quick snacks at the basement. Timely services and schedule, detailed information at the front desk, ground staff and boat crew._br/_ I would recommend this highly to all

This was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in London. We were visiting for one day only and this boat trip satisfied all our interests. The boat was safe and comfortable. The guide was very funny and entertaining and enhanced the experience of the ride. The sites we saw were impressive and gives us ideas about London's history and sites to see more off should we have the time.
