Having the tickets in advance enabled the arrival & departure to be stress free. The crew were friendly and the journey was smooth and at a good pace allowing time to absorb the sights, take photos and arrive in good time for the day. Cushions on the seats would have made it more comfortable. The human interactive commentary enhanced the trip rather than listening to a robot!

Fantastic boat trip. The guides who gave commentary were so good. Clear and easily heard. They told lots of amusing stories about the history of London and were very engaging. The boats were on time and not much queuing and more than enough seats for everyone. We got off at Greenwich and spent some time there having lunch by the naval college and Cutty Sark. A great day out and I will definitely do this again. Great for adults and children. I highly recommend. I live in London and I wish I had done this before.

It was a fab trip on the boat. We parked near Tower of London and got on boat to Westminster pier. Saw all the sites. And then went back on boat to Greenwich to spend afternoon.. The commentary on the boat was the best I tipped both ways. They made the trip the best knowledgeable and funny as well. Totally recommend to others.. I am very claustrophobic and won't like the tube but you see so much more by boat..Will definitely travel again with City boats.
