    Had the opportunity to go on the City Cruise with a gifted Virgin Experience. We picked up the Boat at Westminster to get off at Tower Bridge for a meal and then the return journey later.
    Boarding was easy and well organised, the guide who was part of the crew should have been a comedian he had us in stitches on both trips

    If you haven’t seen London from the Thames this is worth the time. It does take most people to the Tower but it’s worth staying on to see the cute little village of Greenwhich.

    The commentary gives you a different side of London and was humorous.

    It was worth the time.

    Such a gorgeous part of London, would really reccomend this boat trip. The boats are fairly easy to drive and are robust if you do knock them about a bit. We went right up to London zoo. Took a huge picnic and it was a lovely summers evening! They do check your bags for alcohol so be aware of this if your trying to sneak anything in lol

    Brilliant 45 minute rib boat ride given by two fantastic hosts, Debbie and Dave of Thames Tigers.
    Made to feel welcome straight away on arriving and were told the route and timings, given water repellent coats and life vests.
    Debbie gave very interesting commentary on what we were seeing with the opportunity for photos at certain points. It was all very relaxed and informal.
    Once we were past Wapping we had the thrill of the high speed section past Greenwich and towards Woolwich. Turned and came back towards central London, then a great slower stretch under the bridges where you could see so much of London’s history ie Tower Bridge, Tower of London, HMS Belfast and Globe theatre.
    We had the most enjoyable time and I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend an hour in London.
    Would recommend it to anyone.

    What a way to see London , starts off a slow ride then high speed lots of twists and turns was great fun , the guys onboard Chris and Alex pointed out so much about London and we thought we thought we knew it all .My friend was nervous to start with but they reassured her , we felt very safe in their hands. We will be back.

    Always a great afternoon taking a boat out with the boys here. Good value for an hour in the great outdoors, especially on a sunny day!

    What a great way to see in the New Year and some fireworks! Very clear instructions of what, where and how to board the Golden Star. Met by extremely friendly staff, Emma and Will, who gave us a glass of prosecco and they very efficiently managed the bar throughout the evening. DJ Dave played some great music and took requests. The boat wasn't overcrowded which added to the experience. The Captain ensured the boat was moored in good time and in a great position to view the spectacular fireworks - he even moved the tarpaulin so that we could get a better view! We would certainly recommend this experience. Thanks to all the staff in making our evening very memorable.

    We went from Westminster to Tower Bridge and back. We had been let down by Uber Thames Clippers due to delays and cancellations and Michael at Viscount cruises was fantastic offering an immediate solution. The commentary was great and the bar was well stocked. Fantastic. Thank you very much to everyone on board.

    We had the best time, pictures by die water with the Canary Wharf backdrop, a hall to dance in, super helpful event coordinator (Amy) and team of awesome people to help us. Everyone came to ask us who the food suppliers were as the BBQ (yes in winter!) was excellent quality. It was a very affordable wedding for 60 people. They even cut our three layered cake up for us, cook and everyone so professional and a dream to liaise with. Well stocked bar and variety of menus to choose from. It was such a stressless venue for us and lovely as we had a date here early on in our relationship and I used to live around the corner many years ago. They even arranged the DJ. Thank you for making our Special day so enjoyable and God bless you for all your help!

    We were expecting something better. I mean it was an ok Cruise, but we didn't enjoy it that much. We got to see some highlights and listened to some history. There are seats inside and outside the cruise, we tried the ones outside but the smell wasn't good so we had to go back inside.

    Last night was our second time of asking King Cruises to host an 18th Birthday party for one of our daughters and they did not disappoint on either occasion. From the point of initial contact, the team communicates quickly and effectively ensuring that no small detail is overlooked. They were right on time at the pier, making sure that we got the most of our cruise slot. The choice of food is very wide and, because it is prepared during the cruise, it is absolutely fresh. Last night’s dishes smelled incredible as they were cooking and they tasted delicious. The crew go out of their way to make sure that everything happens as it should during the party, and all our guests commented on what a wonderful party it had been. Thank you so much to everyone at King Cruises. The birthday girl was over the moon!!!

    Booked a 2-hour sightseeing cruise with Diplomat Cruises to celebrate a birthday and had a terrific experience!

    We booked the cruise on their Sunseeker Superhawk 34 and it was cool to be on the actual boat that was used in a James Bond movie and other events.

    Captain Jamie and Stevie were wonderful - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

    The booking process was done smoothly and great communications beforehand to make the entire experience seamless.

    Very highly recommend!
