Looking to tick off a bunch of London's biggest and best landmarks from the water? This 40-minute circular sightseeing cruise on the River Thames will get you acquainted with London's prime riverfront real estate, from the Palace of Westminster to Shakespeare's Globe and the Tower of London. You'll also get a great look at places like the Tate Modern – the building this art gallery's housed in started off as a power station – Tower Bridge and so much more. Plus, you'll have an English-speaking guide on hand to tell you the history about all the sights you'll see, as well as tell you stories about London's past. Audio guides are available in a bunch of other languages, too, so everyone can hop on board and learn about the capital of England.

We had a great time from seeing all the beautiful sights along the Thames River and checking London on top of the London Eye. Highly recommended!

Our guide Josh was amazing!! We learned a lot and I loved his humour and jokes while talking about London :) Thank you!!

Aardige kapitein. Goede reisleider die veel achtergrond informatie gaf. Kortom een zeer goede tocht

Het was super! Mooie dingen gezien en geweldige tekst en uitleg. Super vriendelijk. Geen minpunten

Eine tolle und informative Fahrt, bei der es weder an Witz noch an Charme fehlte

Es gab die Erläuterungen bei der Fahrt nur in Englisch, wie hatten in Deutsch gebucht und dachten es gäbe Audio Gydes zum übersetzen, aber leider nicht.
