Tea on the Thames! - Fun to have tea on the Thames! Seeing the parts of the city from the vantage point of the river is beautiful. The tidbits shared by the captain are interesting. The tea, sandwiches and cakes were delicious. There is definitely enough to provide you with a light lunch for two.

Nice experience after an overnight flight - We had an overnight flight to London. Got off flight and then toured a bit in the area and hopped on the boat. This River Thames afternoon Tea was such a lovely ending to our day. Tea and sandwiches/pastries were delicious. The tour was informative. All around nice experience.

Afternoon Tea on the Thames - Excellent directions to find the event. No control over your seat location, we were placed inside (not by windows) and had to get up every time we wanted to see something, take pictures. Those placed in inner seats should pay less as a result.
Food was good but not outstanding. Desserts were fair at best. Drinks (even special water, soda) other than tea are extra charge which was not made clear. At the cost of the tour, at least one should be included. Started and ended on time. Friendly staff.
Good tour guide with interesting information.

Not worth the cost - Went for a birthday treat, I had preordered the gluten free menu as I have celiac disease Unfortunately the gf bread had come out of the freezer and was still frozen in places. Didn’t get any butter, cream or jam for scone as they confused gf with vegan. Disappointing and I don’t think worth the money. So many other places for afternoon tea.
