Thames Afternoon Tea & Sightseeing Cruise

Afternoon tea is one of Britain’s oldest and most popular traditions. This 90-minute river cruise will allow you to experience this London tradition while you journey through the heart of the city.

During the journey, you'll be able to listen to commentary while you cruise by the city’s most famous sights, including the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, The Shard and many more.
