Navigating the Thames

Lovely perspective from the water, excellent live commentary and tips. We had gorgeous weather, so the ride was all the more enjoyable. A note about tourists taking pictures standing in front of everyone - Sit down!

Not child friendly

The tour operator was very rude Tried to rush us to get in and out of the boat . As we rushed we lost my one year olds shoe. Also because it was a return tickets I thought we will go to the destination then return back without changing the boat. Unfortunately this was not the case. When we reached our destination we had to get out and get another boat to return causing inconvinience specially being with little ones.
