Our Testimonials
Joseph Newman2024-03-12Great experience overall, with friendly and attentive staff, and a reasonable standard of food comparing it was pre-prepared and on a boat. The best thing about the actual experience, aside from the wonderful views, was the Irish live performer - she really made the event engaging and I highly recommend her for future cruises, wonderful lady!
T L2023-12-30Nice views… food so so.. could be better. soft drinks to kids at a cost while tea was included for the adults….
Kris Brooks2023-12-20An absolutely wonderful Evening. Food, staff and entertainment all first class. Would highly reccommend.
Rob Mariconda2023-12-18I did this trip 10 years ago and we didnt stop for 30 minutes after reaching the first leg of the trip. Also, there used to be a band but now just a singer with a backing track who seemed to be on a break most of the trip. Also, at the end of the cruise we arrived 20 mintues early so just circled the dock run down the clock. The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben were just past the dock but we didnt go past it for some reason. Dress code was supposed to be smart casual but people turned up in their trainers and is they were going to the pub. One couple even tried to board with a baby but thanksfully they were turned away. I cant recommend this trip in its current form.
Kevin Ingram2023-12-15Fantastic night on river cruise food was excellent meet some lovely people down from Scotland celebrating her 40th birthday we will do this cruise again
Troy Clank2023-12-14Up and down the Thames, evening cruise, canopies, music. Nothing special. Better in dark than in the summer, river side lights are nicer. £49 acceptable pricing.
Loris Ballesha2023-12-12Assolutamente da provare a cena, tutto ottimo! Un po' caro ma ne vale assolutamente la pena!!
Bill Kenrick2023-11-21Very pleasant cruise with good food and some nice jazz. Staff were excellent.
