👍👍 One of the funniest city tours I've ever done. First in the watercraft through the city and then across the Thames. If you like it differently than usual, you will find fun here. My daughter and I were thrilled. People often mention tour, London, kids, time, good, city, Great, Thames, experience, great,

Erst in dem Wasserfahrzeug durch die Stadt und dann über die Themse weiter. Wer es mal anders als üblich mag findet hier seinen Spaß. Meine Tochter und ich waren schwer begeistert.

    (Translated by Google) Very original city tour of extra class. First drive by boat through the city and visit. Then a captain comes on board and takes over the steering wheel. Thames navigation with explanation - super awesome experience - wow necessarily book at home. Highly recommended city tour in London City. (Original) Sehr originelle Stadtrundfahrt der extra Klasse. Zuerst mit dem Boot durch die Stadt fahren und besichtigen. Dann Kommt ein Kapitän an Board und übernimmt das Steuerrad. Themse Schifffahrt mit erklärung - super geiles Erlebnis - wow unbedingt schon zuhause Buchen. Sehr empfehlenswerte Stadtrundfahrt in London City.

    (Translated by Google) Great tour! A star deduction, because you are on the water surface with the edge of the boat and it sloshes over. (Original) Geile Tour! Einen Stern Abzug, da man doch mit dm Bootskante was an der Wasseroberfläche ist und es schwappt rüber.

    Went 9n the London duck tour a few years ago when their amphibious vehicles were allowed in the River Thames. Such great fun. Let's hope they can return to the waters in London.

    Much missed London River tours by old WW2 era DUKWs converted to civilian pleasure use. Nicknamed Ducks by the troops then. Retired for a while as a London modern day service prior to Covid, due to problems with the type of craft overseas. Where sadly in the US some passenger fatalities occurred due to overloading of the vehicles there. I actually disliked the bright painted yellow version here. Liked best most the old style craft, I preferred. A chance to board the kind of amphibious vehicles that took a part in the Normandy landings of WW2. June 6th 1944.

    Great tour - first rate guide (Graham). Took my 3 grandchildren, son, daughter in law and granddad. Cannot praise the guide enough - informative and amusing. Fielded all questions asked without hesitation and with wry sense of humour. Live just outside London so have visited many times but this was a different view. Thoroughly enjoyable day out and good value.

    So sorry it's not there any longer. It was a great draw to London. We were lucky enough to enjoy this tour on the last day. So petty that no launching place could be made available.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Great to see a few of London's big attractions such as Big Ben and the House's of Parliament and the splash down into the Thames was brilliant. Would highly recommend this for all ages.

  • 4/5 Penelope R. 6 years ago on Google
    The tour guide on the microphone was really funny taling any kind of stories., He was the best part of the tour. We spend 2 hours driving around because the trafic in London is really bad. I was specting to spend more time in the water but takes only 10 min.

  • 1/5 jale e. 4 years ago on Google
    No one answers the calls. And web page doesnot even work

  • 4/5 Carl L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great fun. Something different. A tour of London which ends with the amphibious vehicle driving into and sailing down the Thames. Brilliant

  • 4/5 M L. 6 years ago on Google
    Really nice, just wish the river cruise was longer, literally just went to Westminster Bridge and back from Vauxhall

  • 5/5 Kiani A. 3 years ago on Google
    Booked this tour last min with my family (4 adults and 5 young kids)...We all loved it, especially the fact they tell you on the website where to park and the prices too. The guy doing the commentry was amazing, he was very knowledgeable, witty and tried to involve everyone in the tour.. We definatly will be coming back with other family members too ! Thank you guys

    Different view of London with a mixture of roads and river, knowledgeable tour guides, who make it fun and interesting.

  • 4/5 sarah w. 10 years ago on Google
    This tour was such good fun! It was a comfortable fun journey, my children loved it! I have been on a number of tours in London, this was the most fun. We gained loads of new facts and the kids didn't get bored!! The highlight of the tour for the kids was going from dry land into the Themes past the MI6 building..feeling like they were on there very own 007 mission. Like no other tour of the City!

  • 5/5 Joe S. 11 years ago on Google
    The child in me had wanted to go on this ever since I saw the bright yellow vehicles driving around town and the opportunity presented itself when my nieces and cousin of 'appropriate' age were visiting this past Christmas. I thought that the kids would enjoy the novelty of an amphibious vehicle, but I probably ended up having just as much (if not more) fun on the ride. Our tour guide threw out so many new and interesting facts on all the landmarks we went past that I felt like a complete London newbie. He also mentioned that the best time to take the tour was around the 12-1pm time slots because you would be getting into the water during high tide. This was by far one of the most fun things I've ever done in London and highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Sacha R. 4 years ago on Google
    I actually went on this years ago with my kids and my friend and her kids, was a very good day trip. However when I tried to book this for my grandchildren I discovered that it no longer goes into the thames which is a real shame because it's amazing

    Tour guide and driver absolutely brilliant. We had our two year old daughter with us, and she made an effort to make the tour experience extra special for her. 5star recommended

  • 1/5 Laurie S. 3 years ago on Google
    I was given a time by email and the time shown was so tiny I didn't notice it at first. We arrived 10 minutes late due to train delays so missed the 'off'. I went to the office but they agent showed no concern and had no sympathy so I lost the fare. I hope this pandemic has made them suffer and they go under.

    Lovely way to site see London . The team were extremely pleasant and explained the sites keeping younger attendees entertained. It is a shame they will only be operating in London up til 17th September as the crossover from land to water makes the day even more exciting and interesting.

  • 5/5 Barry C. 6 years ago on Google
    This was our first trip and we took our 4 grandkids. It was a very good experience well worth the money. It was 75 minutes with 30 minutes on the water.

  • 5/5 Thomas J. 6 years ago on Google
