Guide To Thames River Boats

Most enjoyable boat trip aboard the Connaught from Westminster to Kew, with plenty of deck space and good facilities. The commentary was informative and interesting. Highly recommend.

We booked a return trip from Westminster to Greenwich 2 hrs roughly but we got off and spent sometime in Greenwich which you are allowed to do, the staff are all qualified Thames Watermen and off excellent cometary as you travel (please tip them they are excellent) the whole experience was fantastic and at £60 for two adults and a teenager was excellent. They also had a very reasonably priced bar and there are toilets onboard.

We had a fantastic time on the river boat tour from Westminster! Although the ‘tour guide’ clarified he was infact a thamesman, he was just as informative as a tour guide. He was very funny and made the boat ride enjoyable. We saw lots of landmarks including the Shakespeare Globe, Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge and many more!

For London prices the drinks at the bar weren’t too bad either. It’s super easy to get to Westminster Pier and you’re guided through to your dock easily. The weather was lovely on our visit and it definitely made it a better experience although there is indoor sesting so it can be enjoyed no mstter the weather. I could happily do it again as without a doubt you’d always learn something new!

The sun was out, the tide was heading the right way and the cruise to Richmond was a fabulous way to enjoy a lot of London we’d never seen before, in a relaxed no easy way.

Commentary was eclectic, but informative and fun, and the boat was very comfortable.

With the great weather we sat outside on the open front deck, which gave great views, but there was indoor seating as well.

A relaxing and scenic way to see London’s iconic landmarks from the Thames. The Westminster cruise offers stunning views of Big Ben, the London Eye, and Tower Bridge, all with informative commentary. A must-do for first-time visitors!
