Fun Summer Night on the Thames!

It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we wanted to do something different and fun while visiting London. We booked the sunset ride and Amelia (?) and Johnny (?) - can’t remember names - were great. The captain made it fun with the quirk turns, entertaining playlist that fit the trip and the tour grade was not only knowledgeable, but very witty and personable! Overall a great time, and they all sang happy birthday to him and the other guest on board who also had a birthday!

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so glad you and your boyfriend had a fantastic time celebrating with us and enjoyed the trip with Amelia & Johnny. We hope to welcome you onboard with us again soon.
