We had a fabulous time aboard City Cruises.
The skies may have been grey but not a drop of rain fell.
We sat upstairs and did the short trip from London Tower to Westminster and back again.
Beverages on board included a great selection including bubbly, which my sister was highly delighted with.
The staff were extremely friendly and the guide on board had many a tale to tell about locations that we passed.
We did not bother to download the commentary which was available in several languages.
Fun was had by all in our party of three...

We booked a VIP package for a Thames Dinner Cruise with City Cruises and had a lovely evening.

When you board at Westminster Millenium Pier you show the QR code on your ticket and we were then ushered to a separate waiting area reserved for VIP customers. We had priority boarding and were seated right at the front of the boat so had wonderful views of all the sights.

The food was good but not exceptional, however; we weren’t expecting fine dining as there’s only so much you can do when feeding a couple of hundred people on a boat!

Staff were friendly and there was even a singer on board who was great. Her commentary was lovely too.

The top deck was great as you could take pictures of the sights with uninterrupted views. When inside the boat you were slightly restricted due to the curvature of the boat windows and glare from the internal lights.

There’s lots of drinks packages available and staff are pretty quick to serve them. The boat docks to load / unload food for the different courses whilst you’re dining so this was an interesting way of dealing with a lack of full kitchen on board the boat.

All in all, it was a lovely evening that we really enjoyed. Lots of fun- just a shame about one very drunk passenger who was being sick in the men’s toilets and had to be ushered around the boat by his buddies!

It was a good evening though and a great way to see the sights of London.

We enjoyed our nighttime river cruise with City Cruises! The entire experience - from booking to onboarding to the 2-hour cruise itself was great & worthwhile. We would recommend the evening cruise option if it fits within your schedule as you got to see many top attractions as the sun was setting and their evening lights were coming on.

The ambiance was perfect for a date night (we were on our honeymoon)! Though cold, we decided to sit up on the upper deck for the views. Downstairs, though, they had a live musician & a bar. The trip started with a glass of champagne & hors d'oeuvres - a nice touch. Additional drinks from the bar were affordable, as well. Would recommend to those looking for something nice to do in the evening in London!

The tour is pretty short. If you can sit up top, you get really nice views. Unfortunately it was raining so we had to sit inside. This tour was free in conjunction with the boat tour we purchased.

I absolutely loved the experience on the City Cruise London Dinner Cruise on the Thames Westminster Pier dinner cruise—it was truly memorable. The decor and lighting on board were charming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The food was generally good, although the starter was a bit below average. However, the rest of the meal made up for it. We ordered the non vegetarian, normal option, but with HALAL option which was no wine sauce and juice instead of the complementary champagne.

One aspect that could be improved was the music selection. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of variety, as all the music seemed to cater to a specific taste. It would have been better if they had offered a broader range to appeal to the diverse group of guests.

The staff were lovely and attentive throughout the evening. However, I was saddened to see that the leftovers from each table were simply thrown away. This seems to be a common practice across London, but it would be great if they could consider donating the leftovers to shelters or other good causes. I even asked for a takeaway box, hoping to either give the food to someone in need or save it for later, but this option wasn’t available.

In the lead-up to the cruise, I contacted them several times with special requests for my husband’s birthday. The team was incredibly friendly, responded quickly, and helped with all my inquiries. They even arranged a great setup for us, though I was informed that balloons were not allowed on board for security reasons, which was understandable.

Overall, it was a delightful experience with just a few areas for improvement. I would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.
