Great first day experience! - We booked this cruise as the first thing to do on arrival in London. It was PERFECT! Very relaxing, very welcoming, and a great way to ease out of jetlag! The views were spectacular, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend, especially as a "welcome" trip!

If you want to see... - If you want to see everything on the river in a short time, then this is a great way to do it! The food was average, but the views were amazing. We spent the entire time on the above deck looking at all the architecture while we were able to relax and enjoy some beverages. I would recommend a jacket if it's a windy day. It did get a little chilly.

Tea cruise - It was ok. The crew were great with taking care of each party snd their needs. The Sandi could have been better. Many were dry , the sweets were tasty and the tea was fine. The conversation with the crew was the better of the two . Would I do it again, it’s a toss up
