The boat was very comfortable, and the crew was very friendly. We passed through many interesting sites, and I had a very good time. Ant the best of all was that a crew member spoke to the passengers and showed the sites near the river and clearly explained everything.

DOWNSIDES: Long queues which were seemingly unorganized, ticket offices were tiny which made waiting times longer to get your tickets. once on-board it seemed the staff tried to cram on as many people as possible. POSITIVES: commentary had some funny parts & it was interesting to see London from a different perspective & have the sites explained in detail. Hop On - Hop off mode of travel is a good idea if you have all day to spend, however if you have other activities planned you need to spend your time wisely and choose your stops carefully. on board Cafe was nice, afew drink & snack options for your trip

Another great way to sightseeing London is to take the river cruise. You have great view for many architecture. The board ride is about 30 minutes one way. It moves very slow so you have plenty of time to take pictures. Actually it is better way to take pictures distance away so you can see the whole architecture. There are double decks. Upper deck are open air. More popular because better views. There is tour guide on the boat giving you information of all the major architecture you pass by. Very informative!

No complains. We had a blast. Was part of the London Pass and the 1.5 hour round trip was fantastic in the gloomy weather.

I took a city cruise to and from Greenwich. We departed from Westminster pier. On the way to Greenwich, the experience was great. One of the captains of the boat talked about all of the sights as we went along. He was funny and enjoyable to listen to. Five stars for the way there. We got off, explored Greenwich for a bit, and got back onto a different boat. On the way back, there was an automated voice doing the guide. Every 5th word was an advertisement and it just wasn’t enjoyable. We ended up getting off a stop early and just taking the tube because it was dreadful to listen to.
