Frequently Asked Questions

- Is a Thames River Cruise Worth It? Which One to Book in 2026
Quick answer: yes. At £17 the Thames sightseeing cruise is the cheapest way to see central London's landmarks, rated 4.5 from 24,875 reviews. The dinner cruise at £95 covers the same water, so pay the difference only if you want the meal.
- London Bus Tour vs Boat Tour: Which Is Better?
Quick answer: take the boat if you only do one. The Thames sightseeing cruise is cheaper at £17 against £25 and rates higher at 4.5 against 4.3. Take the bus if you want transport between sights rather than a sightseeing trip in its own right.
- Best London Tours for Couples 2026: Romantic Experiences
Quick answer: a Thames dinner cruise is the special-occasion booking (from £95), The Shard from £24 gives you the best view for a quarter of that, and the Borough Market food tour is the highest rated of the three at 4.8.
- Perfect 3-Day London Itinerary: What to See Each Day
Quick answer: book the Tower of London for day one (from £37, rated 4.6 from 31,716 reviews), Westminster Abbey for day two from £27, and the London Eye for day three from £25 because at 30 minutes it fits around a departure. Timed-entry slots are the constraint, so book those three before anything else.
