What makes seeing London on a guided tour boat special?

A typical guided tour of London will normally take you by bus or train, but our own tour offers a more relaxed way to travel: cruising sedately on the River Thames, the heart of London. There's no traffic, no distracting noise on our guided tours - nothing to get in the way of your enjoyment of seeing London's beautiful sights. Our audio commentary (available in five languages) will give you a wealth of background information and fascinating snippets and insights that it would not be possible to learn travelling independently. There are a number of different methods for seeing the sights of London and learning some of its rich and varied history, but none rivals a City Cruises guided tour for comfort, relaxation, beautiful views and for providing some of the most in-depth background possible, via multi-lingual explanations of London’s most famous sights.
