      Neat way to see some key landmarks. Only takes about an hour and it also gives you a good sense of where things are so you can go explore more. Great tour guide, Stef. We sat inside (was quite chilly!) vs. up top, and we still had great views. Went with our teenage daughter and it was one of her favorite things we did in London.

      From the River Thames you can see many highlights of the city of London. The guide on the deck of the boat gives enthusiastic explanations about what there is to see. And of course there is a lot of waving to the people on the side and on the many bridges.

      It was a fantastic experience, with a boat trip on the Thames. The tour guide was very nice and told the story of the flowing Thames and the beautiful London bridges, about London and London's beautiful buildings. It was also a major attraction with the Golden Eye, overlooking London. Highly recommend, Gidra
