Saw all the sites and had great commentary from the guide. Everything was on time and they gave us a lovely mince pie to start.

Great tour! So easy to see landmarks and tour guide gave good insight. We did this on Christmas Day and the wind and cold was a bit hard but nothing not manageable.

Christmas Day at its best!!! My teenage kids & I booked this tour for Christmas Day in London & it was an unforgettable experience on the Thames. 1 hour tour & saw all the right sites; tour guide gave great historical information & some short fun stories. Lots of fun & good history. Will book again next year. Dress warm. Was a tad chilly on the upper outside deck but great views!
Very crowded but well done. Chris was the tour guide and great! Would recommend for first time visitors

This is the best way to see the city! Our guide was wonderful as well (I so wish I could remember his name—he deserves a shout out).
We did a Christmas day cruise down and back on the Thames. Really cool to see the city from the river and learn some fun information. They have a full bar and some food as well.
