Lovely trip with a lovely crew! - We set sail at Westminster on time and were welcomed by a lovely crew. Being an East London girl, I really appreciated hearing a cockney accent doing the live commentary. He was hilarious and informative. Greenwich was my last stop. There is so much to enjoy in Greenwich so I recommend getting an early boat. That way you can enjoy the museums, market and observatory.

Greenwich trip - Had a fantastic trip to Greenwich return on the Thomas Doggett. The boat was spacious and well fitted out and a crew member gave an imformative and funny commentary. Bring some cash for the onboard kiosk.

Disappointing - The commentary on the way to Greenwich was lively, informative and humorous. However on my way back, there was no commentary which dampened the journey and left me disappointed. Additionally, the bar man was rude to me when I made an enquiry. I was shocked at his abrasive attitude, which left me questioning his motive for being unprofessional, as all I did was ask a question to clarify a sign which stated that I needed £5 or more on my card.
