Exceptional experience and staff!!! Definitely worth the price for memorable evening and time in London.
The staff were very lovely, especially our server Khushi Malik! She was attentive, helpful and friendly the entire trip. We felt very special and Khushi’s efforts made a huge difference! Thank you!
This was more than I expected. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They greeted us with champagne and a smile. The food was delicious. We upgraded to the VIP service since it was my birthday. The view was amazing. A great experience for us.
This was a disappointing excursion, initially the first was welcoming, glass of prosecco was a nice touch. It was a jazz band plying, I couldn’t hear the woman singing as the bass was overpowering. Knew the tunes but would have been nice to hear, after the break it was a bit better. The food, their salad was good, and we ordered a bottle of wine, staff had no knowledge of the wines and I was unfamiliar with them. As I was vegetarian and indicated that when I booked this excursion, it was to be veggie risotto, it was not. I was served five dried out ravioli with about a tsp of sauce, and it was cold. When asked if I could get a bit more was told they did not have tomato gravy but beef gravy. I ordered vegetarian for a reason. They tied up against another boat for about 15 minutes so I assume food was not prepared on same boat as us.
Good music, lucked out on weather, overall fun
A nice cruise along the river with a better than expected dinner. There was music and dancing but there was no narration of the sights.
All 6 of us loved our food and the experience. However, it’s hard to seat more than 4 people together. I didn’t feel that four of us got a view worth the VIP upcharge. Plus, it was awkward with people squeezing in by your table to take selfies while you are dining. Come hungry because the food kept coming! None of us finished it.
Boat was 45 minutes late. Was not able to choose what you ate, everyone got the same thing. Dining area was very warm. Up top was beautiful.
Food was good. The music was great. Great views of the city. This experience was very nicely done. I would do it again.
The boat was 30 minutes late The excursion asked that we arrive at 7:30 for a 7:45 departure, therefore we stood in line 45 minutes. The boat was older, I understand that but the chairs need to be cleaned, updated — something. Top level needs painting. The “screen” used to hide food prep needs to be cleaned or updated. Overall appearance was terrible. Staff was good.
