Great experience. Fabulous afternoon tea. Highly recommend it when in London.
We had a wonderful afternoon tea while cruising down the river. The commentary from the staff was informative and funny. The food was good and we were quite happy with the assortment.
Absolutely do this! Was a wonderful way to experience a tea time as well as see the Thames and much of London from the water. Loved that our boat was not over crowded so that we could go up top after our Tea to get some fresh air.
This is lovely! What a treat to see London this way. The tour guide was entertaining and informative. The food was delicious and plentiful. No way we could’ve eaten everything, they give you a full three-tier tray for each two people. The tea was delicious. We had a wheelchair family member and besides one little lip onto the boat (or getting to the restroom on the boat), it was very easy for us.
We enjoyed our Tea River Cruise on the Thames. It served as a nice introduction to city on our arrival day. The departure point was easy to find via Uber. The tour was well-organized and the river boat was very nice. The refreshments were tasty and there were plenty of beverages for everyone. The guide was well- informed and told us interesting histories on the buildings and bridges. Would highly recommend this short tour (90 minutes) for a quick intro to London.
Great way to spend a relaxing afternoon and see sights of London from the river . Well organised , lovely tea, good informative and interesting commentary re sights , lovely helpful staff and not crowded . Would highly recommend exceeded my expectations and very good value
An excellent river cruise, from the booking to boarding, window seating with partner was perfect as was food, drink and service. Very good value for money considering prices of everything these days.
Cream tea and boat trip on the Thames . Well organised and the service on bpard was faultless. Will do again next year.
Nice afternoon. Food was quite delicious and the tea was tasty. The tea and food are inside, and you can climb a few steps to the upper level to take photos and cool off after warm tea in a warm room on a warm day.
Have your ticket ready and get there early. The experience is worth every penny, we really enjoyed it.
