Wonderful choice for couples or a family - This was wonderful, perfect amount of time and a wonderful amount of food. You have the option to order extra drinks which we did and there was an upstairs observation area, where our kids could run around and look at some things. All the food was super tasty and everyone was so wonderfully nice. We highly recommend this.

Lovely Tea Cruise - Lovely cruise on the Thames. Food was good, maybe not super authentic tea but tasty, lots of variety and large amount of food. Lovely staff and great service. Enjoyed the leisurely cruise and viewing London from a different perspective.
Highly recommend to tourists, it was relaxing and perfect afternoon treat after a long day of sightseeing.

A nice way to relax and see the sights - The afternoon tea river cruise was enjoyable and interesting. The staff was very personable and helpful. The food was good. When asked for additional tea, the staff were quick and responsive. The tour was narrated by Chris who was engaging and informative. The upper deck was nice for viewing the sights and taking pictures.

Great afternoon tea in the heart of London - Had a lovely afternoon tea on the Thames. Food and tea were lovely. Time went so quickly but didn't feel rushed. Staff were very good - all keen to help. They did their own commentary on the sites, after everyone had eaten their afternoon tea. Quite funny. Would highly recommend.

Thames river tour with afternoon tea. - We loved the easy access, fast flowing que and no hassel.
We enjoyed the afternoon tea. We had additional cocktails and the staff were polite. The views and info we got to hear were great, however a clearer microphone would have made a difference.
We were excited to be sat at the front but the windows were dirty it obstructed our view and photos.
Besides that it was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend.

Ok - The experience on the boat was great. The staff were extremely helpful and loved the history knowledge.
However I didn’t think the selection of sandwiches were great or enough.
