Cruise down the Thames - This was such a pleasant surprise. The boat was very nicely decorated and very comfortable. It literally felt like a restaurant The staff were friendly and the commentary was informative with a touch of humor. The food was so yummy and the views were breathtaking. I would definitely recommend the cruise to anyone considering!

Lunch Tour on the Thames River - Our boat came right on time and was very clean. We were immediately seated with a great view in the front. Our server was great. Lunch and drinks was wonderful. The captain was very knowledgeable and pointed out all the tourist spots to us. Great experience for the money, well worth it.

Wonderful views from river Thames - Attending as a group of three, we had a fantastic experience. The white tablecloths gave everything a more upmarket feel. The food was delicious, and the drinks were very well priced. The live commentary was great to listen to, and we’ve never seen London look as beautiful as it does from the River Thames. We would definitely recommend this experience and would happily return.

Take the scenic route and eat while you do! - A lovely experience especially if it is sunny. A scenic and relaxed way to see the sights of London. Not a first class experience but food is decent enough and staff very friendly.

Very poor service - I am extremely disappointed with my experience booking through Viator. I purchased a lunch boat experience as a special outing for my mum. The booking confirmation clearly stated that we should arrive at 11:45 AM, and there were no instructions indicating we needed to arrive earlier. We arrived exactly at 11:45 AM, only to be told that the boat had already left. The staff then claimed we were supposed to arrive at 11:35 AM, which is completely untrue because that information was never provided in the booking details. To make matters worse, a customer service agent told us that a refund request had been submitted and advised us to book the afternoon tea experience instead. Trusting this information, I paid for the afternoon tea. However, immediately after making the payment, we were told that they could not refund the original booking. This felt extremely misleading and unfair. We followed the instructions provided in the booking confirmation and still lost our experience and money. Being told a refund was requested and then later denied after we made another purchase was very frustrating. I expected much better customer service and transparency. This experience has left me feeling disappointed and misled, and I would strongly advise others to be cautious when booking experiences like this.
