In hindsight, I should have booked it round trip because getting back to central London from Greenwich took longer. Well worth the fee and Greenwich is great

There was one part that was disappointing. It was at Greenwich on the return boarding. They had zero idea how if our return ticket was valid. Ie I was not with a City and it took staff 10 mins to find out where we should board. Most disappointing. The test of the tour was good

This is advertised as a sightseeing tour, but the first half of it was spent going to pick up other customers. Its was good to ride along the Thames and see the views for the brief period we were on the move and not picking up other people from various points along the river but sightseeing cruise this is not. Its more a hop on, hop off ride to get from one tourist attraction to another in London. I'd say it was worth doing as an alternative to the tube and something a bit different but alter your expectations accordingly

The trip to Greenwich was fantastic, mainly due to the humourous and informative commentary. It was a great way to see the city and learn interesting facts about the changes the Thames has gone through. It was lovely to wander around Greenwich though was a bit disappointed in the Queen's House as it is mainly set up as a gallery. The trip back to Westminter, for those who don't realise, does not have any commentary which isn't necessary unless you have only joined the trip from Greenwich. Would recommend this trip as a way to see an interesting part of London, and a great way to travel to Greenwich.

It was rainy out. Better to see the London area by foot or on a bus.
