Thames River Boats - Westminster Pier — Local services in London

I recently took a boat tour along the Thames River, and it was a fantastic experience! The views of the iconic landmarks were breathtaking, and seeing the city from the water provided a unique perspective that I highly recommend.

Our tour guide, Amelia, truly made the trip memorable. Her humor was infectious, and her jokes kept everyone entertained throughout the journey. Beyond the laughter, she shared fascinating facts about each landmark we passed, from the Tower Bridge to the Houses of Parliament. It was clear that she had a deep knowledge of the history and significance of the sights, which added a rich layer to the experience.

The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, allowing us to relax and enjoy the ride. The crew was friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. I appreciated the small touches, like providing blankets for those who got chilly and offering snacks and drinks for purchase.

Overall, this Thames river boat tour was an excellent way to explore London. I left with not only beautiful photos but also a greater appreciation for the city's history, thanks to Amelia's engaging storytelling. I highly recommend this tour to anyone...

What can I say about Thames River Boats other than; go do it, you won’t regret it. Set aside at least 1.5-3 hours and you’ll be taken from political Westminster, past industrial Battersea, through beautiful Kew and Syon, via historical Ham House and Marble Hill, ending up in royal Hampton Court. You’ll also see plenty of riverside wildlife and get to experience a couple of the Thames’ most famous locks in action.

The first thing you realise when you join the boats are that they are quaint and steeped in history. One of the fleet is even a Dunkirk “little ship.” Beautiful heritage boats with bars serving drinks, snacks and alcoholic beverages on a peaceful and relaxing trip.

The trips are run by a “family feel” operation, which adds to the great experience. Staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable people who mostly have worked on the Thames for generations and are all too happy to answer any questions you have and share their wealth of local knowledge. A special commendation for Maria who always provides great company and drinks from the bar onboard the...

I love boats and I think that the River Thames is especially interesting in-between Westminster and Greenwich. I would recommend the very best time to visit Thames Riverboats is on a clear sunny day.Then you will be able to fully enjoy a single trip to Greenwich (duration of 40-60 minutes) or a return trip (duration of 2 hours).On selected tours a WI-FI Audio guide is available in: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German & Mandarin. The tour guide on the boat did a wonderful job of explaining the whole journey to the passengers. The tour takes in about 53 London landmarks including; New Palace of Westminster (Parliament), London Eye, St Paul's cathedral, The Shard, HMS Belfast, Tower of London, Tower Bridge & Sir Christopher Wren's Old Royal Naval College on River front at Greenwich. There was also a licensed buffet bar on board which was very nice for the passengers. The boat crew were absolutely brilliant and gave us a free extended tour. Via the section of water under Westminster bridge. Directly outside Westminster...
