The staff could not be faulted and the boat was comfortable and felt safe even with three over excited little girls but the RECORDED commentary was deplorable. The content was trite, totally lacking in interest and almost devoid of history. Thank goodnes that after Tower Pier a human took over the commentary and all was changed. He told us a great many extremely interesting things in an amusing way and suddenly I remembered WHY I'd thought my grand-daughters would enjoy a Thames boat ride just as I had at their age. And still do . So long as the commentary is done by a staff member!

The journey up to Westminster was lovely and the recorded commentary was informative. The crew members commentary was even better. However we did not make the return journey as our ticket did not state that the last return boat was at 1600hrs and although we were there by 15.45 by chance, this boat was full so we had to return to Greenwich by train....resulting in sore feet walking to Charing Cross and an empty purse!!

This is was my second time to use the cruise. I decided to use it again as my first experience with City cruises was great. The second time around though, right from the booking there were issues. Since I could not book it online due to some technical errors in the web page, I had to call City Cruises twice to book the tickets. My name was wrongly spelled in the issued ticket and my attempts to contact to correct the name didn't bring any results. The audio guide in the cruise is very useful and entertaining for the tourists. We could not listen to the audio as the volume was very low and it was noisy inside the cruise.i couldn't even find anyone to ask if the volume can be increased Thanks, Roopak

Iâ€™m hearing impaired so didnâ€™t hear any commentary which was a shame as my companion said the man on our return trip was very funny.

The journey down to Greenwich was on a rainy Sunday morning so we sat inside, but we still had a good view of the scenery going by. The trip back from Greenwich to Westminster was a different story, as the sun had come out and we sat up on deck and we were treated to the live commentary - the man was very funny but also very informative - and certainly made the trip very enjoyable. The scenery in the sunset was stunning and the boat goes at the right speed to take some fantastic photos.

It wasn't the best day for a Thames cruise. It rained from when we left the house until late the next day! The service was greatâ€”from the greeter at Westminster Pier providing helpful guidance on where to go, to the staff along the way. The only thing that disappointed was the lack of live commentary. I'd taken the tour before when a young chap had regaled a rapt audience with tales of derring do in days of yore to the delight of all. The rather laboured voiceover (recorded voiceovers should never try to be funny) was next to useless, and we couldn't hear it when we ventured below deck. I'm guessing the lack of a chap with a mic was because of the weather, so I won't beef too much. On the whole, great value and a super way to see London from a different perspective.

The way to greenwich was very nice, nice live commentaries by the cruise (definetly essential for me!). However on the way back there were those very loud commentaries about london life style that had publicity weaved in ever other minuit and I could not enjoy my way back

The journey up to Westminster was lovely and the recorded commentary was informative. The crew members commentary was even better. However we did not make the return journey as our ticket did not state that the last return boat was at 1600hrs and although we were there by 15.45 by chance, this boat was full so we had to return to Greenwich by train....resulting in sore feet walking to Charing Cross and an empty purse!!

Dreadful experience. Spent an hour waiting on the pier, despite pre-booking and arriving 20 minutes earlier than my time. The time spent actually moving cruise on the water was no more than 20 minutes. The company wants to sell as many tickets as possible at the expense of quality My complaint to customer has been ignored.

This is was my second time to use the cruise. I decided to use it again as my first experience with City cruises was great. The second time around though, right from the booking there were issues. Since I could not book it online due to some technical errors in the web page, I had to call City Cruises twice to book the tickets. My name was wrongly spelled in the issued ticket and my attempts to contact to correct the name didn't bring any results. The audio guide in the cruise is very useful and entertaining for the tourists. We could not listen to the audio as the volume was very low and it was noisy inside the cruise.i couldn't even find anyone to ask if the volume can be increased Thanks, Roopak

Iâ€™m hearing impaired so didnâ€™t hear any commentary which was a shame as my companion said the man on our return trip was very funny. A loop system wouldnâ€™t help me but I could tell there wasnâ€™t one on board either way. My main â€˜complaintâ€™ is although my bottom is well padded the seating got very uncomfortable.

The journey down to Greenwich was on a rainy Sunday morning so we sat inside, but we still had a good view of the scenery going by. The trip back from Greenwich to Westminster was a different story, as the sun had come out and we sat up on deck and we were treated to the live commentary - the man was very funny but also very informative - and certainly made the trip very enjoyable. The scenery in the sunset was stunning and the boat goes at the right speed to take some fantastic photos.

It wasn't the best day for a Thames cruise. It rained from when we left the house until late the next day! The service was greatâ€”from the greeter at Westminster Pier providing helpful guidance on where to go, to the staff along the way. The only thing that disappointed was the lack of live commentary. I'd taken the tour before when a young chap had regaled a rapt audience with tales of derring do in days of yore to the delight of all. The rather laboured voiceover (recorded voiceovers should never try to be funny) was next to useless, and we couldn't hear it when we ventured below deck. I'm guessing the lack of a chap with a mic was because of the weather, so I won't beef too much. On the whole, great value and a super way to see London from a different perspective.

Despite missing the boat we had planned to take the staff at City Cruises were very helpful and arranged for my party of 26 to get on the next boat without any drama. The boat was comfortable and the guide was excellent. All of my group considered the boat trip to be the best part of what was an excellent day in London
