A very fun and unique way to see London and get a feel for many of the sights. Make sure to arrive early, as the boat leaves promptly at 3:30.
It doesn't really matter if you get in line early, your table is reserved. Come hungry, there's a lot to eat! Wine special, 2 glasses for 12 pounds, very worth it and good quality. Service was very well organized and the self-proclaimed non-professional narrator was great & humorous!
A wonderful cruise with great commentary. The tea and food were great. The optional champagne was a nice touch to a great afternoon.
What a great way to see the major sites and then some. The tour was just long enough, the tea and food were plentiful. I suggest ordering the 2 glass champagne special as a little something extra. Boris was our waiter and was very attentive!
Very relaxing. Wonderful tea and treats. Good commentary. Lots to see and learn. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Unfortunately we didnt make it as I booked the wrong month. Should have e booked for July. So I have to try book again 🙃
Excellent experience. There was plenty of food and it was comfortable in the seating area. The guide was very good and funny too 🙂
This was great! We booked it last minute and I am so glad we found this tour. The food and tea were wonderful! And the cruise was perfect. We got to see a lot and enjoy British high tea at the same time. This is well worth the price. There were 4 in our group and all loved this tour. Highly recommend this over the bus tea tours!
The river cruise was a nice way to see London for the very first time. Iconic sights are all on this tour. Starting at the Tower Millennium Pier is great as the Tower of London sits adjacent. Exciting to see day 1 of a week long London visit! The enclosed area where we drank tea was a bit hot as it was a sunny day, which made drinking the steaming tea uncomfortable. We needed more ventilation. Sandwiches and scones were good but the desserts were mediocre. Wait staff was polite and helpful but service was slow. We were the last to receive food and others on the tour finished eating and drinking before we got our tea service. I might op for just a tour next time.
The food is not great. The boat ride is nice on the River Thames. The weight staff on the boat were nice enough. The crew did a great job.
