    I would highly recommend Golden Tours

  • Jamie-Leigh Davis   (United Kingdom) 5.0
    Good value

    We added the fast track to our ticket due to it being really busy within 10 minutes we were on the London Eye the view was stunning I would definitely book to go again possibly later in the day

  • david english   (United Kingdom) 5.0
    A good time had by all

    A really good day out. The grandchildren loved it and even though we did not ‘fasttrack’ the wait for the eye, it only took 20 minutes. A lunch at Pizza Express (Royal Festivsl Hall) where the service and the food was excellent.

Experience Boat Tours in London

Lunch or dinner sorted: Wondering what to do for some lunch or dinner as you explore London? Then look no further than a lunch or evening boat cruise. Let the London sights glide by as you dine. There’s no better way to see London and eat in style.

Bus, boats, trains, trams and bikes: London is one of the most accessible cities in the world, with a transport system that is as historical as it is convenient. Head on the tube, hop on the bus or boat and even hire a city bicycle. You even have the option of trams in certain parts south of the river. No part is left out in this city.

Explore without worry: You’ll find that London is considered a safe city to explore. Certain parts of the capital are best avoided. However, with most of the major attractions centrally located and often busy with tourists, you’ll find that these areas are very safe.

What are the best places to visit: London is a city packed full of tourist treats. Take your pick from the bustling West End for the shows to the shopping streets of Oxford and Bond Street, and the museum district of South Kensington. You have Westminster as the seat of power, and the River Thames that will reveal plenty of London’s secrets.

• Tidal or not tidal, that is the question. Actually, the River Thames is both. After Teddington Lock, it becomes tidal as it heads into the estray and then the North Sea.

• It may not look it from the murky waters you’ll see on your boat tour, but don’t be fooled. This river is teaming with life. There are over 119 species of fish, as well as otters, voles and eels!

• Fancy a walk? You can walk a large portion of the River Thames along the 184-mile Thames Path. It’ll take you about 12-14 days to complete it. It starts in the beautiful Cotswolds and finishes at the Thames Barrier in Woolwich.

• The Oxford v Cambridge boat race has been competing on the River Thames for just the past 200 years! First held in 1829.
