The advantage with catamaran cruisers is that our boats are glass-crowned so you get absolutely the best views whatever the weather may be and with London being built around the river the best way to explore and to see the main attractions of London is to come down and take a trip on the Thames.

Lily: So what are the famous landmark buildings you can see from the boat? Here is Ian again:
We cover the main interesting area of London which is the most historic area, so on our river boats you will see for example the Houses of Parliament with the very famous tower containing Big Ben as well as of course one of London's newest attractions which is the London Eye, which is the wheel that we have here in London. And then as we go down the Thames we pass other historic sites including St Paul's cathedral and the re-made Shakespeare's globe theatre which was built exactly as they did in the 1500s. And then down to the world famous Tower of London and of course Tower Bridge, the very famous Bridge in London that opens to let the tall ships through.
