Great Cruise

Very nice and comfortable way to see London and cruise the Thames. Greenwich was great place to explore. We visited the Cutty Sark, Observatory and Maritime Museum. Got to try Pies & Mash for the first time. One note - The Viator sends you to the wrong location to catch the boat.

Great Narrator, Lots to see, great way to Greenwich

The crew provides the narrative of the sights you see and ours was so funny yet informative. It was a great trip on the river. The dock in Greenwich is near many sights. This was a fun way to get there and see things like the Prime Meridian.

Cruising the Thamez

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke well conveying the information. Nothing felt rushed. The staff was professional I felt like my husband and I really enjoyed the sightseeing cruise. It was an added benefit to spend time at Greenwich knowing exactly when transportation on the return cruise was taking place. More importantly, when the final cruise returning to Westminister pier.

Leeds/ Canterbury Tour

I booked the Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover Cliff tour for me and my hubby! Worth it!...especially if you have David as your guide, as he is FULL of knowledge with the history of England! We had a small group of 9, which made it even better. Reg, is a great driver! He knew which lanes to go to/ stay on, as traffic got a bit heavier. We ended with a river boat/Uber boat ride, a bonus to see a wide spred of tourist sites along the way back to your stop. An AMAZING full day!

London

Know before you go

Greenwich is a lovely spot for London-goers looking for a break from the big city, offering a mix of history, culture, and scenic views along the London River.
Plan to spend at least a half-day or a full day exploring the area if you want to take in all the sights, including the world-famous Royal Observatory and Greenwich Market.
Wear comfortable shoes to explore on foot—it’s full of hills, cobblestone streets, and steps. Be sure to bring your appetite for some delicious London food found at local markets and eateries.
If you plan to visit during peak times, it’s wise to book tickets in advance for popular attractions like the Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark to avoid long lines.
The Royal Observatory and many of the other attractions in the Prime Meridian location are wheelchair accessible.
