The London Eye River Cruise is a 40-minute circular sightseeing tour on the River Thames with live commentary. It takes in many of London's most famous sights including the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral, HMS Belfast, and the Tower of London.

London Eye River Cruise Review

The London Eye River Cruise is a popular addition for visitors to the London Eye. While on the London Eye you do not have any commentary but can spend time admiring the views. On this cruise you have live commentary to help you discover the historical significance of each landmark as you pass by, including many of the bridges that cross the river. The commentary is both factual and entertaining.

Everyone who takes this river cruise will learn something new about one of the attractions they pass. And, of course, you can ask a real person questions, so don't be shy. (Multi-lingual audio guides are available too.)

Another important point to note is the fact this cruise brings you back to the same location by County Hall so you're still on the South Bank for plenty of evening dining options. Just walk down to the Southbank Centre or Gabriel's Wharf and the OXO Tower for options to suit all budgets.

The London Eye River Cruise allows you to have a riverside view of the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London.
