    Great cruise from Westminster to Greenwich and back, with ability to stop at any intermediate pier. Good seating. Brilliant views. Decent commentary. Oddly, at no point did anyone check our tickets (bought online).

    The cruise was amazing, went for a day out in the holiday with my kids. The member of staff that was doing the commentary explained how the journey would be and what to expect. He was very informative when identify landmark buildings and talking about the history. He had a bit of banter which made listening to him easier. I learnt a lot about true history of the thanes and the kids LOVED it defo doing it again next year. plus he weather was perfect made it an even better experience.

Refreshments on the cruise were refreshing! • Looking forward to booking more cruises in the future.

    We had a rainy, grey day, but the cruise was great. There was adequate room to shelter as it rained, and when it ended, we could go topside for photos. The commentary was informative and amusing. We were not rushed and could enjoy the perspective of London from the river. Embarkation and disembarkation were well handled. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the tour to others.

    Boat PA system was broken, we did an extra stop to collect “an engineer”, waited 25 mins for a space at Westminster pier, to then be told boat was terminating there. The whole thing was 2 hours long and made us miss our slot on London Eye. The only good thing was the friendly staff.

    I paid double the cost of hop on hop off boat and felt as though I got exactly the same experience. Apart from the boat did a 360 turn at Tower Bridge for photos. I expected a dedicated tour guide not one of the crew who didn't know much and joked more than anything else. Yes we were offered audio sets but was made to feel they weren't as good as listening to him. Plus they didn't even have them to hand.

He was very informative when identify landmark buildings and talking about the history. He had a bit of banter which made listening to him easier.

Refreshments on the cruise were refreshing! • Looking forward to booking more cruises in the future.

For a great day out with family or friends, blow away the cobwebs on a Thamesjet and get ready for summer. Enjoy a fun filled, adrenaline fuelled experience on a speedboat - the most extreme ride on the river. You'll enjoy sightseeing, speed and awesome aquabatics. 
 

 

As the largest cruise operator on the River Thames, we offer a range of services dedicated to group organisers and school trips.
 
Group bookings are available for sightseeing cruises, dining cruises and private hire. As well as the usual high-quality service, groups benefit from discounts. School groups receive free adult tickets in proportion to the number of child tickets purchased.

School groups free places
1 Adult free for every 8 children (5-11 years) 
1 Adult free for every 12 children (12-16 years)

Free teachers and discounts are based on retail prices and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. The discount is not available online or at the pier. 

 

If you’re a family looking for a great day out in London ​hopefully our list of things to do in London with kids will help fill your mind with ideas and suggestions. But we think nothing beats the River Thames. Fresh air, great sights and café-bars on all boats will help you keep the kids well-fed and entertained.
