I had purchased the London Pass for other attractions I was seeing around London. The pass includes a ticket for City Cruises, so I decided to use it to get from The Tower of London to Westminster. My husband and I grabbed some take-away and want to wait in the queue. It was a Wednesday right around noon. The line... More

I had got a voucher for this from Groupon so it was £18 for two adults and the ticket was valid for 24 hours. The queue was huge so I would advise getting there early, there was also a school trip waiting. We managed to get a seat on the top deck outdoors but by the time more and more... More

Bit pricey but enjoyable none the less! Knowledgeable chap (who only worked on the cruise he wasn't a guide) made it more fun!

Boat wasn't clean and the commentary was both inaccurate and unamusing. It felt like very poor value for money. There are much better ways to explore London by boat.

I would never have taken this river cruise, thinking it was just a terribly touristy kind of thing, but a seasoned London traveler highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to sight-see from the top of the open boat. We even braved the rain! We cruised all the way to Greenwich and back, hopping off to tour the Tower Bridge... More

Took a return trip from Westminster to Greenwich - it also calls across to the London Eye so you dont have to walk across the bridge. On board crew do a great commentary with the odd risque joke thrown in. Nice cruise down the river, option to go inside the boat or on top depending on the weather

A party of four, we travelled on a Sunday lunch cruise. The staff were cheerful, polite and helpful at all times, the meal was very good and one of our party had two specific dietry requirements which were met without fuss and to a high standard. Excellent value for a two course lunch, coffee and the cruise with a friendly... More
