Honoured a refund

Kirsty_M, Mar 2022
We actually got out timings wrong, so were unable to travel. I dropped an email to ViaTor a couple of days letter and they issued a full refund, no questions asked. Incredible customer service.

Beautiful journey and interesting commentary

Susan_T, Mar 2022
Really interesting commentary, nice and warm on the boat.. Very helpful staff as my mum is in a wheelchair. We were told there was a ramp onto the boat but there wasn’t. Mum had to get out of her wheelchair and be helped up steps. It was a bit tricky but the boatman was really helpful

Excellent tour trip

When we were approaching Westminster and the young man commentating was excellent. We all enjoyed the trip. I would do it again. The crew was Very nice also.

Pay less at the admission kiosk

Paul_B, Nov 2021
Pay less by buying direct at the admissions desk, would have been half the price. Get to see the sights but wouldn't say its worth it.

Rushed and too busy ...

Tracey_E, Oct 2021
Rushed and too busy experience that overpaid for. 1/2 price tickets available at the kiosk. Boat has seen better days. Beautiful day, great city but could have been done so much better

Great way to see London landmarks in comfort

Really enjoyable trip with a knowledgeable guide. Slightly chaotic queue at the beginning but was fine. The only thing they couldn’t fix was the weather! UK Summers…..😬

Leisurely trip up the Thames

Elaine_P, Aug 2021
Boarded at Greenwich and went to Westminster and back. It was a lovely leisurely trip on a Summer’s day. Cost was reasonable and plenty to do and see on the Southbank. Crew pointed out places of historical interest along the journey.

Great Journey

A great experience with friendly staff & very funny commentary with lot of information along the journey

Average Cruise but could be better

Akikur_C, Aug 2021
I think the cruise was okay. If it wasn't for the live commentary, I don't think I would've really enjoyed it at all. Tip for management: the gentleman who did the live commentary asked for tips at the end of the trip. Most people don't carry cash, so if the cruise people do want to get tipped I would suggest getting a card machine whereby people can tip you.

Feel cheated

I booked a return from Greenwich pier. But when we got to westminister … we were told that the cruise will stop at a little further down. I paid for a return for my entire family- 2 adults and 3 kids. We then had to take a taxi back to our car at Greenwich. Totally disappointed!

Nice trip

Bahar_N, Aug 2021
It was a nice trip, seeing the landmarks on the river. There were two issues, when I booked it said ‘return’ which meant we were expecting to go back to Greenwich but it didn’t. Also they only accepted cash for purchasing drinks which wasn’t mentioned in the info when booked. We were lucky we had cash on us!

Happy with boat but not website

Philip_G, Aug 2021
We booked online for a return to Greenwich pier. Our booking was 3.30pm departure, once we got to Westminster we were informed they were not going back that far, so be careful when booking. The boat was excellent thou.

Thames trip

Relaxed trip viewing famous London landmarks. Friendly crew and great atmosphere on board. Comfortable seating.

Misleading trip - not what we paid for

Catherine_S, Jun 2021
The trip was unfortunately spoilt by not having the return trip we’d paid for. I booked online, and selected the time of the outward journey from the times on offer. The outward journey was very enjoyable, but when we arrived at Westminster, we were told that the boat we were travelling on wasn’t returning to Greenwich, and we’d missed the last boat back for the return journey! We then had to pay an additional £10.70 each for the return journey by the Uber river boat with a large number of other passengers - we’d been trying to avoid this because of Covid-19, and I work with a vulnerable person. This meant that the trip overall proved to be extremely stressful. To be honest, I feel we are owed an apology and some reimbursement for the return journey we paid for but didn’t get. Catherine
