Doing what: London Eye: River Cruise Experience
The London Eye River Cruise Experience is brilliant. My Fiance and I both really enjoyed it. We saw many famous buildings and landmarks from the Thames. The cruise commentator was incredibly funny and gave detailed information about the buildings and landmarks on routes history. Will deffinately travel on this cruise again and will recommend it to friends and family :)

Doing what: London Full-Day Sightseeing Tour
I would highly recommend this tour if you are having a short stay in London as this tour covers so much. We had read mixed reviews prior to booking but we said we'd take a chance and were glad that we did. They picked us up on time from our hotel and brought us to Victoria station where we were introduced to our guide for the day. Our guide Alan especially made this trip enjoyable for us as he had a very in depth knowledge of London and he was also very entertaining. Also our bus driver, Malcolm, was very friendly and helpful. One piece of advice I would give is to try and do this tour on any day other than a Sunday as a lot of places are closed. We began the tour by visiting Westminster Abbey but couldn't go inside due to it being a Sunday, we were then brought to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben on the hour so we could hear the chimes which was a nice touch. We then had a guided tour of the Tower of London followed by the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. However, it was very busy due to it being a Sunday so we were unable to get down to the front of the palace so we just seen them marching along the road, we then had a cruise along the Thames followed by lunch. Then it was off to St Paul's but again we were unable to go inside due to service. We opted for a flight on the London Eye at the end, it began raining which restricted our view. Overall really enjoyed it but try and do it during the week if possible!

I would strongly this to anyone interested in getting an intro to London. It was thorough but leisurely. We saw all the sights and had plenty of time at the Tower of London, the Thames River cruise, the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral. Our guide, Damien, was great. Had constant informative commentary and always gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. The tour also gave us great ideas on what to do over the following few days. Do it!

The London Thames River Dinner Cruise was a wonderful experience. It was everything I expected and more. The staff was friendly and professional. The ambiance was spectacular and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend it for a romantic occasion.
Review by Tighthead Prop, Australia, October 2010
If you have some spare time in London (and it is a fine day), then I can recommend a stroll along the banks of the Thames. You can see many of London's famous sights on the banks of the Thames (like The London Eye, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, The Tate Modern, St Pauls Catherdral - just to name a few). And when your feet get tired from all that walking, you can stop for a pint and a bite to eat at one of the many English pubs that line the river, and just watch the river traffic go by.

Doing what: London Eye: River Cruise Experience
I thought I had messed up badly as I didn't see the part on the voucher about calling 48 hours in advance to schedule a time for the ride. I called the reservations desk in the morning and was able to get a ride that afternoon. The staff were very nice and helpful. The London Eye was very, very cool! The views and the engineering of the structure are amazing. We took the Thames River cruise combo. The cruise was so-so; it ended up being shortened because of the tide, so we couldn't make it under the bridge to Parliament. But overall, it's not a bad combo as the dock is literally right next the the Eye, which is very convenient.

Doing what: Thames River Cruise, Tower of London and City of London Tour
The tour guides are very educated as to the history of London. You can not benefit by going to these sites without a tour guide. I would recommend going to Greenwich on the thames river cruise. Well worth the time.

Doing what: Thames Clippers River Roamer: Hop On Hop Off Pass
We were in London for two nights. With one full day in between. The hotel was close to the Tate Britain Millbrand dock. For a unsupervised low key on-off cruise on the Thames river, which worked great for us. We just had to be careful to be back to the dock by 5 pm. Also taking an umbrella is a must! We did get caught by a dark rain cloud. This cruise was just right for us.

The London Thames River Dinner Cruise was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. It was a very pleasurable and memorable evening. I can't think of a better way we could have celebrated our first wedding anniversary. It was an evening I will rememeber with happiness for years to come. Angela and John Taylor

Doing what: London Full-Day Sightseeing Tour
We got picked up at a nearby hotel, which was great as we didn't have to make our way across the city by ourselves to the starting point. The coach was clean and comfortable and we could leave belongings on there while we went to see the sites, which was really handy post gift shopping after each stop. The Tower of London, Crown Jewels, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Thames River Cruise were well worth it. A spring shower did not even deter us from waiting for the Changing of the Guards. Finally, the most enjoyable and relaxing part of the trip was Tea and Scones at Harrods. Our English tour guide was very organised, knowledgeable and really helpful. It was definitely a well worth it experience.
