We decided to make the most of a sunny Saturday afternoon with a walk along the Thames embankment and on the spur of the moment joined the Thames river sightseeing cruise down to Greenwich Pier and back, a two hour round trip. Hop on/off was also possible to explore other parts of London from the many piers. The boat was very comfortable with good views through picture windows of the many historic sites along the riverbank. The crew gave a humourous and fascinating commentary along the route about the places, history and people. Moreover, the boat and toilet facilities on board were well looked after and clean. A bar on board serves full pints of draft IPA or lager beer at a great price. Our thanks go to the crew for their professionalism, politeness and respect for their passengers. A trip well worth taking which will not be forgotten. Thank you Dave, the rest of the crew and the Aussie selling tickets at the pier, you clearly love your jobs and of course the great river Thames.👍

No commentaries about the landmarks and history. I have done this boat tour multiple times with other operators and the guide provided good history, was humorous and made the tour quite wonderful. For this one, the journey was smooth and weather was quite good. However, without the commentaries, made the one hour journey quite dull.

We took the sightseeing cruise from Westminster to Greenwich and it was easily a highlight of our trip. Our guide was a traditional Waterman who was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much history about the Thames that you just don't get from a guidebook. What really made the experience, though, was his humour. He kept the whole boat laughing while we took in the sights. It was both educational and genuinely entertaining. If you’re looking for a great way to see London from a different perspective, I would highly recommend this!

STook the tube & the DLR to Greenwich after a couple of days sightseeing in London itself. Decided on a whim to return to Westminster Bridge by boat & this proved a brilliant choice. The city by boat is always interesting & the captains commentary lightened the very hot day. Great service 👏

Went yesterday to do the River cruise getting on at Festival pier. Paul who was issuing the tickets was amazing and so friendly and informative! Loved the cruise and the commentary was both informative and very amusing. A great way to spend a couple of hours!! Will do it again.

Enjoyed a Christmas present 🎁 from our lovely neighbours, an evening cruise on the Thames on board The Gamma, Champagne, canapés a brilliant singer with a wide range of music styles and a very attentive (not overly so) crew. We had a wonderful evening.....we'd certainly recommend that you give it a go!!
