Thames River Cruise - Hi the cruise was very nice. Good service, the boat ride and commentary were pleasant. The bathrooms on the cruise were clean. I would recommend doing this. Only beware of the information desk at Greenwich, they sold us multiple tickets of the Painted Hall and did not inform us that it closes at 5pm. We trekked up to see the Royal Observatory and came back down only to realize all the other attractions down like The Painted Hall are closed. Wasted 40 pounds.
