Boat ride was nice otherwise an uneventful trip - take it if you are looking forward to walking up a big long hill.

The trip down the river to Greenwich was a great way to see the city. The observatory is at the top of a steep hilll which offers a fabulous view of the river and the city. We straddled the Prime meridian, saw the telescopes and used the audio guides which helped explain the various exhibits. At the pier there is also a restored sailing ship and that is quite interesting as well. Definitely an excellent way to spend a day.

the observatory was bear busy and quite an up-hill walk, but we did enjoy it. The river cruise was fun and both commentators to and from were funny and great.

Royal Observatory was great for historical scientific significance. The Thames boat ride was a great way to get a beautiful view of London while hearing informative and humorous commentary from the guide.

Very easy to find and get on board. There was a short line to turn in out e-receipt and get actual tickets, but no more than 5-10 minutes: no problem. The crew ad-libbed a guided tour of Thames River which we enjoyed.

No stops between Tower pier and Greenwich. Lots to see and do in Greenwiich but didn't anticipate the steep climb up to the Observatory.
