A pleasant enough experience. Attentive staff. Tea pigs tea took a bit of getting used to as I am more of a PG Tips type. Could do with a better choice of sandwiches. A plain option - cheese and pickle/ egg mayo/ chicken salad/tuna mayo. For some reason I hadn't realised how far the Tower Pier was from London Bridge Station (and how many steps!) so by the time we arrived and then queued to get on, we didn't want to move from our seats and take advantage of the outside views; more steps. Half and hour longer would have been great! But that's a personal thing due to joint problems, probably not an issue for most.

Frustrating trying to book a date. I had tried emailing on numerous occasions. my husband and I were the first on board but the last to be offered a drink. We asked 3 member of staff., before a pot of tea arrived. May I suggest that you supply a sealed hand wipe, before eating. The scones were stale. We observed that only one jar per two would be sufficient. After eating our tea it was lovely to on the top deck and experience a slight breeze and take in the views of London. Regards

Myself and my daughter had a lovely day yesterday on the Thames. All of the staff very very friendly and the service was exceptional. We both found it hard to hear the commentary whilst sitting below deck having tea due to all the noise in the room. Once we finished our tea we went up on deck,and enjoyed the funny and interesting commentary from the guide learning about parts of London we didn't know existed. The sun and lovely breeze helped.

The food wasn't the best, and the tour stopped just short of the Houses of Parliament. On the whole, it was a nice day but wasn't brilliant.

Saw London from different perspective. Fresh food with plenty of choice. Very efficient, friendly staff.

The staff were very pleasant, the boat was clean, our table at the front of the boat was lovely. The only thing I was disappointed with was the amount of sandwiches and cakes served. I would have expected a refill.

Although the whole experience isn't that long it is really enjoyable. From the moment we arrived the staff were helpful and organised. We boarded the boat at exactly the advertised time and were efficiently shown to our table. It was a full boat (circa 100 people) and we departed the dock on time. The boat was warm and comfortable , staff very friendly and efficient. Drinks orders were taken within minutes and the food platter followed soon after. All of the sandwiches and cakes were lovely , plenty of tea and coffee available too. The weather wasn't brilliant with some rain, but this did not spoil the views from the large windows, a commentary was provided which was reasonably informative and at times witty too. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience , largely attributed to the efficiency of the staff. Good value for money and highly recommended.

We had a lovely afternoon, staff all very attentive. Plenty of tea & coffee refills. Food however a bit of a let down. Sandwiches had gone crusty. Other than that a pleasant way to spend an afternoon on the Thames seeing all the sights.

Right from the start, our day was going to be good, the weather was kind with sun and a light breeze, on arrival at the quay we were directed to the jetty. When it was our turn to board names were checked and we were directed to our table, which was socially spaced from the other tables. No sooner did we sit down that our drinks order was taken and not long after the Tea was served on the tiered serving platter, the food looked, and was delicious, all the time watching the London embankment go by... On the way back from Greenwhich we moved to the top deck and listened to the interesting commentary, it was fascinating. I was a bit concerned re the current Covid scenario but all was well. All in all a good day and would recommend ..

The hottest day of the year meant it was slightly overwarm in the restaurant part of the boat but actually even hotter on deck!! The tea was very good as expected. Sights of London as we cruised the Thames very interesting. All in all wo...

Staff Review of the Thames Lunch Cruise with City Cruises

London is an amazing city, but with so much to see it can be daunting to experience everything in one day. Instead of tackling those tricky Underground routes, we were given the opportunity to see London by boat, on a Thames Lunch Cruise with City Cruises UK.

Arriving at London Bridge Station, we made our way to Tower Millennium Pier, the departing point of our Cruise. Once on board, we found our seats and enjoyed a drink from the on-board bar. With panoramic windows around the boat, the views of London are spectacular from the moment you step on-board.

Not long after the boat had set off our lunch arrived-and we were in for a treat. The main course consisted of chicken in a mushroom sauce, dauphinoise potatoes and mixed vegetables. Whilst we ate, we sailed past many of the top London sights, including The London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf and many more.

Watching the famous sights go by as you tuck into a gourmet treat must be one of the most relaxing ways to experience London; you get to see everything without moving a muscle! For desert, we were served a delicious chocolate tart, followed by a complimentary cup of tea or coffee. The service on-board was amazing, all the staff are so friendly and attentive, meaning you don’t have to lift a finger.

After lunch, there is a chance to wonder round the boat. Be sure to take a camera; there is a fantastic open-air deck where you can take in London’s Sights, from the River Thames you really do get a unique perspective of London’s riverbank landmarks.

In total the cruise lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes, the perfect length of time to enjoy your meal and explore the boat. City Cruises offer a range of cruises, from afternoon tea to hop-on-hop-off, to a sunset Jazz Cruise. These well organized tours are a fantastic way to experience the City of London without any of the fuss, just make your way to the pier, hop on-board, and enjoy!
