Whether you’re planning to visit the London Eye or you just want a tour around the Thames which focuses on the giant Ferris wheel, this river cruise is a great alternative to other services.
Although the London Eye River Cruise is not as long as other boat tours in the area, it can be a lot more affordable.
This circular loop will take you past locations such as Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament.
You can also purchase this as a bundle with your London Eye Tickets which is great for visitors wanting to take a journey on the ferris wheel.

When I went, I timed my visit to coincide with the tour departure times.
A single rotation on the London Eye takes around 30 minutes, and I went off peak so didn't have to wait in a queue.
It is possible to get the timings right if you do a bit of planning!

The majority of people who take this cruise find it enjoyable - my family who I went with enjoyed it as they had limited time in the city so that made it a convenient choice for us.
