Return Details

You may disembark at any of the available stops.
This flexible day cruise embarks regularly from central London piers—Westminster Pier, Waterloo Pier (near the London Eye), Tower Pier, and Greenwich Pier. Board at your leisure and grab a seat in the glass-encased saloon or on the open deck. Sip on a hot or cold drink from the full-bar and enjoy panoramic views of the river as you set off. 

Drift in warmth and comfort along the banks of the historic River Thames and discover London’s history through lively onboard commentary. Relax as the boat makes the entire sightseeing loop or hop off at any stop—another boat will be along shortly to pick you up. With your flexible pass, hop on and off as many times as you’d like throughout the day to visit iconic landmarks from Westminster to Greenwich and back again!

  • "There is a snack bar, so a little bag of munchies and cold drink or cup of tea make the cruise that much more enjoyable!" See review
  • "My advice, if leaving from Greenwich, and you want the full experience, catch the earliest departure at 10:00." See review

Great boat trip with Greg as the guide = FUN! XD

The live guide was great! Thanks to Greg and Charlie, we had a great time and some good laughs. The boats look fine, everything was well-organized. Highly recommended! It would have been even better if the end station had been Greenwich, not just Tower Bridge.

Nice river tour but more commentary on the area we passed would have been better. Not just the odd landmark building.

It's March, we're in the Corona Virus pandemic....so no crowds , no long line ups.... good time to visit London. The crew member who did the running commentary was fantastic. He definitely knew his stuff and was very entertaining.

Such a fun experience! We stayed on board the whole time and got a great view of the city from the Thames and were able to see landmarks we otherwise wouldn't have. Highly recommend taking a day to experience London from the water!

Thames Hop-on-hop-off

The boat was very clean and comfortable. Very easy access to the pier and boarding was a breeze. Overall, a great experience. My only concern, and perhaps my misunderstanding....the last cruise from Greenwich that returns to Greenwich ends at 1530. We could only go as far as Tower Pier, had about 15-20 minutes there in order to get back to our original boarding pier. This caused us to miss some of the best sites along the river. I think the advertisement is somewhat misleading in that respect. My advice, if leaving from Greenwich, and you want the full experience, catch the earliest departure at 10:00. Otherwise you will pay for an expensive, yet limited cruise.

Misrepresented options - ripoff
anthonyblewett
, Sep 2019
I was told the only available option was hop on and hop off. However when i got to the pier i was told there were plenty of other options still available. Compete misrepresentation of the facts. Not to mention prior to paying for the ticket there wasn’t any mention of needing to print a ticket. When traveling how can anyone reasonably expect a tourist to have access to a printer, which was a must to redeem this ticket. I requested a refund refund and was told the tickets are non refundable.

Michael Caine's Grandson

Michael Caine's grandson ? 'Jordan' the on-board guide. He must deliver his information about the sights being passed, 10 times a day, yet he's fresh, funny, and all in the style of the above. Boat quality was good. Trip was Westminster to Tower Bridge, we got off there to re-join for the return later. There was an option to go on to Docklands but as we had a busy schedule on this day trip, we didn't. Singly, the only negative was we paid £63 through Viator, to find it was only £39 at the booking office.
