Excellent 5 star you got to do this trip
Scott_W

By far the best part of our stay in London and we have already planned to do the trip again on our next visit. The guy steering the boat was very knowledgeable and very very funny, I didn’t expect that, I assumed incorrectly it would be a pre recorded message.. The distance you travel was also a very nice surprise then the sites you see are incredible also. It is definitely the best way to see London I think. If your visiting London you must do this boat trip it’s fantastic. Informative, very funny and very relaxing even on a cold day.
