The afternoon tea cruise was a wonderful way to see gorgeous views of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Eye, Tower Bridge, and the Shard. The tea and scones and other treats were all tasty and beautifully presented, making the cruise a lovely experience. We enjoyed going up top and seeing everything from that vantage point. Dillon,on the intercom, was hilarious while very informative ,and all of the wait staff were friendly and helpful. This was the best tour of all we took in the London area.

The food was absolutely amazing, I'm a very fussy eater but me and my husband ate the lot! We liked that the tour guide wasn't too serious and had a laugh. I feel that there should be the option to book to sit window side rather than just luck.

Staff were great and the experience would have been better if some expectations had been met. I thought it was lunch with tea and cofee for two. There was no tea or coffee and unfortunately my guest could not have the dessert because there was no alternative, not even a fruit. I think you should have some fruits on the boat so that if a guest cannot have the desert you can give them a fruit at least. Many thanks.

I had arranged this for a couple of Canadian friends We had a good day, enjoyed seeing some of the sites that I wasn't previously familiar with. Commentary was good to point out landmarks although my friend pointed out that the main highlights seem to have been pubs and bridges . Despite the rain ☔️ we went on the top deck to get a better view of London and as always it's beautiful. Will do more boat cruises in future, to different destinations 😊

Very pleasant experience, with a funny and nice captain ("not a guide, a simple member of the crew" 🙂). Easy to purchase the ticket, even if the ticket was not checke-in 🤔 If you buy a return ticket, half an hour is not enough to visit the Royal Observatory and to enjoy the marvelous Greenwich. Better buy a one way ticket!

The ride on the London Eye was great. Super organized, despite long queues it went quickly. TOP!

Madame Tussauds: top. London Eye: been there, done that, and the view is as spectacular as ever (despite the clouds). Sea Life: a little disappointed as it's very small, even if the aquaria are fantastic; however, I didn't quite understand the connection with the tropics area (snake, tarantula, frog, etc.).

The experience with my children and seeing their faces light up best part. The ticket combo price was decent too, in general central London is a sight. In general good food around halal too which was a bonus for us. However the que for London Eye was huge. We eealised you can book whatever time slot makes no difference. On our sea life aquarium it states 16hours hence we decided after the long que of London Eye and then 30 mins of the london eye we were hungry, lets eat and relax before going in for the aquarium.... went to the aquarium was having a great time, they announced we had only 45 mins left till they close. So we was rushed in a sense. When we exited the aquarium London eye was still running so we clocked we should have booked times and gone in the other way round

Ease of buying the tickets online which meant we didn't have to queue too long for each experience. We both loved the Aquarium but my granddaughter who is 8 was a little bored by the London Eye. I think she expected it to move as fast as a roller coaster. I enjoyed it anyhow.

My wife is pregnant nearly 8 months She was tired on that day after visiting other places in the morning We didn't accept that the que was long that day And we wanted to come early home because of wife's situation We came to the queue at 5.30pm But our reserved time was 6pm But they asked us to come out from the queue and join back at 6 from the start I wanted to cancel the tickets but as they are not refundable we stay until 6pm to join the queue

Hello. The combination of tickets was a good combination. At Lindon Eya we got in right away, no need to queue as we had fast track tickets. Sea life was hampered by such a large number of small children who were very loud. The experience would have been better if we didn't have to listen to the noise. The wax museum was a positive surprise. It contained a lot of surprises. It was my favourite of the three.

Headout gave us great value and a seamless experience. The London Eye is a must do for all visitors to London (even us Brits) as you get to see a good distance from the top, not to mention its great location for views of Parliament and Tower Bridge. The London Dungeon was also great fun, with high quality live actors and realistic scenes, although its original location at London Bridge use to make it more eerie with the rumble of the trains overhead.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait in the normal queue considering I had a specific schedule. It should be better explained that it is not a fast entry or fast pass. I was lucky at the London Eye and since I went before 10am and it was raining I got in fairly early. If I got there at 10:15 I wouldn't go up before 11am.

It was just unfortunate with the road closures and the diversion down vauxhaul as it took a very long time without any tour info. It was a decent day out and my son was able to have a little nap so that was ok. Would be nice to have more staff interaction on the bus though. Other hop on hop off buses had a guide on the top. Perhaps I just needed to read better next time.

I have noticed that the buses do not operate as often as those of other companies, which has been quite inconvenient for my travel needs. Could you please provide information on whether there are any plans to increase the frequency of the services? I believe that improved schedules would greatly enhance the overall customer experience.

The cruise captain should have his own comedy show! The historic information mixed with humor made for a fun cruise that was entertaining. The onboard food and restrooms were a plus! I would definitely recommend this for first time visitors! Also.. good photo opps!

I really liked the experience and the fact that it included the river trip. The only thing is that I felt cheated with the tours. No one had told me that they were without a guide. You had to go on your own. Anyway I recommend doing the bus route and the Rio tour.

I found the audio guide very funny. But we were not informed that the red line was not available every day. At the Tower of London stop, after waiting the bus left without stopping, leaving a number of customers stranded and we had to wait for more than 20 minutes. The frequency of buses on Monday was so low that I opted for the public bus.

Bus ride was fine except for the drop off for Ferry as it was at one end of the bridge while entrance to the Ferry was at the other end and so we had to walk. It would have been better to have the dropoff at the Ferry end itself. Further, timing details of the ferry were not provided and so we wasted quite a bit of time waiting after arriving at the ferry terminal.

We liked the ability to get on and off. However, changing from one color route to another was very confusing. When asking for help we did not receive definitive directions. I think it would help to indicate what routes are available at each bus stop if not all colors stop there, especially after the Thames boat ride.

Very good tour to get to know the city, especially if you have little time. It has the plus of the boat ride on the Thames, with a local guide, if you know English better and if not also because you enjoy the tour. I did it at sunset and it was magical.

The audio guide (German) was usually out of sync with where the bus was. I therefore often didn't know which sight the guide was referring to. In addition, explanations were often interrupted in the middle of the text and new explanations were played. We heard some texts several times at different points of the journey. The generated German voice on the green route is difficult to endure, so we switched to English. In the English audio guides, the guide's station numbers do not match the map provided.

The tour included 3 buses with numerous stops. We went to a couple of stops to catch one bus in particular and waited over an hour at the stops. The bus was said to stop every 20-30 minutes and it did not. We wasted an entire afternoon of our trip just waiting for bus stops.

Hello, it was very nice with the bus. Unfortunately, we didn't have a map of the bus stops at the beginning and we couldn't download one from the app, so we wandered around London. A nice supervisor from another bus company then helped us. The boat trip was great, but without a German guide. Bye

1. The HOHO bus stopped and waited for long periods., thus spending a lot of time sitting in one place. Then should depart a stop as soon as passengers have got off and got on. 2. I uderstand that route may be changed to avoid traffic congestion etc, however the stops shown on map did not match with actual - e.g Green Park. 3. We had stood at a stop (no 12 on map) for approx. 5mts because the sign board at stop clearly said " City sightseeing" and the bus just bypassed us!. Stopped about 100 mtrs ahead. By the time we reached the bus had left. then it took another 15-20 mts for next bus to arrive. Updates like this should be informed. 4. While the bus drivers in general were courteous, one (of black ethnicity) was rude when replying my query re changeover stop for blue from red bus. They need to be reminded that customers pay their wages.

I responded earlier but seem not to have the option for the negative feedback from the overall good experience. On the first day we waited for 45 minutes at the British Museum, but the bus never showed. We caught the bus later at the hotel. Also, pollution seems higher on the top deck and in traffic. I often had to clean black soot out of my nostrils after a bus ride, and our family all caught colds after our first two days of bus rides. We came again for another one-day and had similar pollution problems. The Edinburgh ticket worked nicely, and we stayed out of the rain as well. We did not use public transportation there.

Why go on a Thames River dinner cruise?
Illuminated River Project
Unlike daytime cruises, the evening bears the artistic marvel of the Illuminated River Project. Imagine cruising under 9 bridges adorned with stunning LED light installations. Illuminated River is a massive public art project that will illuminate nine bridges along the Thames River, from London Bridge to Lambeth Bridge. The Thames transforms into a canvas of ever-changing colors and patterns, when on a Thames River dinner cruise.
Know your pier
How to get there?
Boarding point: The Tower Pier (EC3N 4DT)
Address: Lower Thames St, London EC3N 4DT, UK | Find on Maps
Getting there:
- By bus: If you're taking the bus, hop off at the Tower of London (Stop TB). It's just a quick 2-minute walk to the boarding point. Look for buses 15 & N15.
- By metro: For subway travelers, head to Tower Hill station. It's only a 4-minute walk to the boarding point. Catch the Circle or District line to get here.
What to wear on a Thames River dinner cruise?
- The dress code on most Thames river cruises is smart casual attire. However, feel free to dress more formally for any special occasion.
- Choose comfortable attire that allows freedom of movement.
- It's also advisable to dress in layers as London's weather can be quite unpredictable. This way you can add on more layers if the weather gets chilly.
- Don't forget hats and sunscreen if you opt for a cruise during the day, especially in the summer.
- Carry a small bag for your sunscreen, water bottle, and camera.
