Lovely Day
The City lunch cruise was relaxing, enjoyable and interesting. It was a beautiful, sunny day, which enhanced the views from the boat. The lunch was good and all the Staff were friendly and welcoming. I would certainly arrange another trip.

Beautiful day on the river
Extremely good service from the onboard staff. We dined on chicken with a white wine and mushroom sauce, dessert was a light vanilla and chocolate mousse, followed by coffee. We pre-ordered a window seat and a jug of Pimms. Excellent commentary by the Skipper and you get to see some of the major sights of London. Highly recommended.

Very nice experience
Everything is a well-oiled machine, staff is friendly, food was nice, toilets very clean. Shame the guide's comments were a bit too muted from where we were sitting, but all good apart from that.

Lovely experience
The lunch cruise was wonderful. The boarding was smoothly done and each party escorted to their table. As soon as we left berth drinks order were placed and immediately after the 2 course lunch was served, which was excellent. Cruise went down to Houses of Parliament, then on way back a good commentary of buildings seen from river was given. Given that all this was provided in 1 1/2 hrs shows the professional standard of the staff.

Excellent birthday treat!
My friend and I had a fantastic lunch cruise on the Thames! We both thought the food was delicious (both her vegetarian dish and mine). As a birthday treat, we enjoyed the VIP package by getting on the boat first, being shown to our an excellent window seat, and enjoying our glass of champagne, definitely worth the extra cost! There was plenty of time in between the courses to go upstairs and look at the sights (with commentary). We are both from London but still learnt lots about the landmarks!

Thames lunch time cruise
Wonderful experience. We had a lovely afternoon. From the moment we boarded felt like we were getting 5 star treatment. Can’t praise the staff enough for the way they attended to us. Would definitely like to do it again. Just wished it had lasted another half as we didn’t get a chance to go outside.

I loved it
it was great from start to finish. The staff were friendly, the service was fantastic, the boat was amazing and food was excellent. I have a severe strawberry allergy and the staff went out of their way to ensure I had the correct pudding which did not have strawberrys in it. The views were excellent and the commentary was good.

Brilliant day out
We were a party of ten and thoroughly enjoyed the Thames Lunch Cruise. The food was very good, as was the service. The weather helped a great deal as well, a storm was forecast but it was quite sunny. Views from the cruise ship were amazing and we took some stunning photographs. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this trip, in fact, we’re already planning another one for a bit later in the year.

Absolutely lovely lunch & cruise
This experience was bought for us as a gift from our son & I have to say that my husband & I both thoroughly enjoyed it. The lunch was lovely (the chocolate mousse was to die for!) and the staff were all so attentive. We loved the fact that the cruise went beyond the normal tourist sites, so we were able to view the apartments along the banks of the Thames (and dream of owning one one day!!) . All in all, it was first class!

Made a.lovely wedding gift
This experience was a wedding gift from a friend and me and my husband had a lovely time. The vegetarian meal was very tasty (not at all bland) and the experience was amazing. We booked it on the day when the weather was good so we got to enjoy the views from the roof of the boat. Overall, we both had an amazing time and would book the same cruise again any time and even book this as a gift for someone in the future. Wr would definitely recommend this lunch cruise

City Cruises Thames Lunch Cruise
We booked this for our 29th wedding anniversary and has a wonderful time. The food was delicious and well worth the money. The drinks were extra but we didn’t mind that. The only thing I didn’t like was although The waiters were very attentive, on several occasions, they reached acrossed in front of us to clear the table. After lunch, we went up on top deck and enjoyed the sunshine. A very good experience.
