Thames River Sightseeing Cruise with Afternoon Tea

I enjoyed the beautiful views and the delicious foods. The service was great. The loudspeakers could have been a little louder to hear better, otherwise attn enjoyable ride.

Had a lovely time. One of the highlights of our trip to London. Delectable treats, and great memories were made.

I was traveling alone, and was crunched for time as I was here for work. You get to indulge in some sandwiches, sweets, coffee/tea. You can see most sights from the inside of the boat, but I scarfed down some food, drank some coffee, and headed up to the main deck outside for better view of the sights. I was able to snap some great shots of the Tower Bridge, London Eye, and Big Ben. Straightforward tour.

Loved it!! Food was great and we just enjoyed sailing down the Thames and seeing buildings from a different view.

Tea and sandwiches were good. Nice variety of little sweets, so everyone found something they liked. We arrived early so we were one of the first onboard, but they didn't board anyone until the last minute. They allowed us to switch from center table against the back wall to a little closer to the windows. View is pretty good from the second row of tables. Those who arrive last are seated furthest from the wall and served food and tea last, so definitely recommend arriving early. I had fruit tea selection from a box, but husband had the regular tea they served. He said it was excellent. First time around was luke warm, but each subsequent refill it was hotter. We also shared a jug of Pimms for under 20 pounds. I only wish they had more narration. There was only one quip about Trafalgar square on the way up. The return trip they played maybe 8 recorded commentaries. We would have much preferred a fully narrated tour, but this was a very nice afternoon trip.

A very pleasant trip down the river, with a delicious afternoon tea. The staff were polite and helpful. Value for money, I would go again.

This exceeded our expectations! Not only was the boat lovely and clean, but the food served was delightful. Way more food than we anticipated. Delicious scones with jam, assorted cookies and amazing sandwiches were displayed on three tier stand. Tea or coffee was included. There was also an opportunity to partake in champagne at an additional charge. It was a typical rainy day in London, but this excursion brightened our spirits and filled our bellies. Highly recommended!

lovely to set off in bright at 3.30, take in all the sites and return as darkness feel and all light up .. magical in NovEMBER

I knew there was assigned seating but according to what I read, if there were only 2 of us, we’d get a 2 top table. That didint happen, we were seating with another couple at a 4 top table while there were 2 top tables available. You can request to be moved but it depends on who’s waiter tells the person assigning tables first. For the price you are paying you should be able to pick your seats at booking that way you are not surprised when you get there. The food was decent, the drinks from the bar were terrible and the views were ok.

This was a good trip. We did not know it was going to be High Tea with sandwiches etc so had eaten lunch before we went. We thought it was only tea and scones so more information on that would have been useful. I couldn't really hear the announcements/tour information so that was disappointing. But the servers were fantastic. Another thing we didn't know was that if you were in a group you should book together to get seated together. There were 7 of us and we booked separately so they could not give us a large table for all of us. Instead they had to split us in 2 tables which was ok but we were not near the window. They moved some people around but forgot about us and then later apologized as they could have gotten closer to the window. Overall, i would recommend this trip as it was interesting and good value for the money.

Very nice view along the Thames. I am a picky eater, but thats my problem. Most people enjoyed it. I'd do it again if I didnt have to pay for a food portion.

This was a very nice trip up and back on the Thames. The boat is modern with the seating thoughtfully planned out. The wait staff were excellent and so very nice - had the serving and clean up timed to the second it seemed. Their choice of food with tea is more than enough for two - tea sandwiches, sweet pastries and delicious scones with jam. You can also buy alcohol. The prime viewing is on top of the boat - it is open and there are plenty of seats. When boarding, you are greeted with a glass of champagne and led to your assigned seat - great that it was not a free for all but not so great was not knowing that you could pre book a window seat. I would have done that had I realized - perhaps just the company offers that, did not see it as a choice on Viator or I missed it. The Tower Millenial Pier is very easy to find and well marked once you get to London Tower. I would give 5 stars if I had a window seat. Even at that, our view was good and you can move about the boat to take photos.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. The staff were all so helpful and efficient. It was wonderful seeing the sights of London particularly towards the end of the afternoon when everything was lit up. Tower Bridge was brilliant and the London Eye. Sandwiches were good and plenty to eat. Drinks were offered as an extra and we tried the Prosecco for one which was reasonably priced.
