Thames Dinner Cruise

We had a pleasant and enjoyable journey overall, but there was only one hiccup. Our trip was delayed by over an hour, and we received no prior notification or email about it. This lack of communication led to some frustration among the people that was waiting. So, with better communication they would make this a 5-star experience.

We took our niece on the Thames River Sightseeing Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich. It was amazing to see London from a different perspective. We’ve been to London several times and have used the Hop On Hop Off buses, Black Cabs, and have walked through many parts of London, but this was well worth the time and money. The captain was funny and knowledgeable. He narrated as we rode. We were able to take some memorable photos even through the rain.

This is a must do thing in London if you want to see the river and the London skyline. The boat can be picked up at the Westminster Pier the South Bank and Tower Bridge. Tickets can be purchased for a one-way or return journey from Westminster to Greenwich. The Jubilee and District Line stops at Westminster Station and the pier is just across the road or through the underpass. I picked it up from the South Bank near Waterloo Bridge. The price of a ticket is just under £20 for an adult and about £13 for a child. The tour commentary will have you in stitches if you like dry humour. Fabulous tour.

I booked this tour for the first day of my trip to London and it was fabulous. I always wait a week or so before arrival to book to make sure the weather is good - and it was!! The crew (both coming and going from/to Westminster were fabulous. I would suggest you have some English coins to tip them when you get off. I did not have and I regret it because they were terrific. Doing this river cruise on the early days of your trip is helpful in getting your bearings and helps you to decide what attractions you want to explore in more depth and which ones are fine from the boat (e.g., the London Eye was perfect for me from the boat!).

My cousin and I took a trip from Embankment to Greenwich. Return Greenwich to Westminster. Very cheerful, entertaining commentary. Thoroughly recommend this trip. The commentary is humorous and informative. Note there is a senior price of £9.40 return trip. Really good value for money. Greenwich is a great place. The National Maritime Museum is such a great place to visit and free to view. Walk to the top of the hill to see the amazing view across to Canary Wharf and London skyline. You can visit the wonderful Observatory at the top of the hill too. The Cutty Sark stands on the dock at Greenwich.

I loved this trip so much! It didn’t take long to wait in the queue to get on board, but I would recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to make the trip easier. The views were amazing even though the wether wasn’t perfect. Excellent commentary on the way, very funny and educational. I went on this trip as part of my birthday celebration, which was a perfect choice! Overall an amazing visit that I will always remember for my 17th. Would totally recommend for an amazing day out! There is food available on the boat and the cleanliness of the whole thing was immaculate. I will be recommending this trip to all my friends and family.
