Britain · RIVER THAMES CRUISES
The river passes Parliament, the Eye, the Tower and Tower Bridge in half an hour, which no bus manages. These 15 cruises split by route, by whether you can hop off at Greenwich, and by what is served on board.
Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich for landmark views, live commentary, open-deck photos, and an easy way to reach London’s historic east end.
“Great!!! Got to see all the places of interest in one ride. The guide was informative but very funny at the same time. We will definitely do this tour again the next time we are in London.”
Cruise from Westminster to Tower Bridge for open-deck views, lively commentary, and a low-cost look at London from the Thames.
“The cruise is basically transportation from Westminster Docks to London Bridge. What made the trip special was the staff member who provided narration the whole way. They state they are not professional guides, just the boat crew. They did a better job than some guides we've used. Simple and direct comments about what is on either side of the river, but told in an entertaining way. Well done lads!”

Explore London’s darker past on a guided ghost walk from Green Park to the Tower, with a 30-minute Thames boat ride or Tube transfer.
“Our guide, Zachary was really good at telling stories. He spoke loud and clear which is needed in London’s buzzing noise. We loved that we got a boat ride in between stories, which also is very convenient so that you can rest your legs or use the toilet. We also had our 2 year old son in a stroller with us. Zachary kindly offered to take small detours to avoid stairs, but we have a light stroller and the few stairs on the tour was no problem at all for us. Recommended!:)”
