    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

    I’m hearing impaired so didn’t hear any commentary which was a shame as my companion said the man on our return trip was very funny. A loop system wouldn’t help me but I could tell there wasn’t one on board either way. My main ‘complaint’ 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 great—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

    Saw lots of London's sights on the Tower Bridge to Westminster trip, with a commentary that was far above expectations, particularly for the humour which caused a great deal of laughter. Returned on the last boat at dusk, so then saw the sights illuminated. Altogether a fantastic experience that will long be remembered.

    We booked for 13.40 and we still had to queue for 1 hour - we had to take the next boat at 14.30. Not super organised in terms of group queuing - we had a group of 40 people in front of us - they should really consider space for group. Guide was average we know about all the pubs to visit in London - not so interesting in history or key facts. Otherwise it was still enjoyable, we got to Greenwich from Westminster pier.

    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

    I’m hearing impaired so didn’t hear any commentary which was a shame as my companion said the man on our return trip was very funny. A loop system wouldn’t help me but I could tell there wasn’t one on board either way. My main ‘complaint’ 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 great—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.

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.
