London River Tours
Enjoy a tour along the River Thames with London River Services
In addition to the London River Bus service London River Services provides a variety of River Tours along the River Thames.
These scenic tours are a relaxing way to see the city of London from a different perspective while travelling along London's oldest thoroughfare, the River Thames. Services are provided by several companies which, together, under the banner of London River Services, operate a large fleet of boats and high speed catamarans up and down the Thames. This is a fairly inexpensive and fun way to do some sightseeing while visiting London.
There are a number of different tour options to choose from including an all day Hop-on, Hop-off tour, Lunch Cruises with live commentary, Dinner Cruises with live entertainment and more.
Presenting a valid Travelcard, or an Oyster card with a valid Travelcard loaded on it, will get you a discount of 33% on most services. An Oyster card without the Travelcard will get you a 10% discount on some services. You can also enjoy a free all day hop-on/hop-off Thames River Tour with the London Pass. Check out the very helpful video under the Photos & Video Tab for an excellent overview of using the river services.

Very fun tour with a sense of humor. Weather was not forgiving by presenting cold and stinging colder wind but we chose to sit outside so that's our fault... Read More
