London: River Thames Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Cruise

Twenty-four hours of unlimited sightseeing boats between four piers: Westminster, the London Eye, Tower and Greenwich. City Cruises’ all-weather boats have open decks and indoor seating, commentary on board and a bar, and they sail every day of the year except Christmas Day. It is rated 4.4 from 3,310 reviews.

The ticket pays off when you use the river as transport for the day: the Tower of London in the morning, Greenwich and the Cutty Sark in the afternoon, the London Eye on the way back. Reviewers praise the live commentary from the crew, one of them “a Thames Waterman”. Two practical warnings from recent guests: the last boat of the day is not guaranteed, and one found the final sailing from Greenwich cancelled, so plan to return on the second-last.

Practical points from the listing: times vary with the tide and river traffic, the ticket runs for 24 hours from first use, and drinks and snacks are sold on board. In December and January the boats are decorated and the bar serves mulled wine.

The price is from US$33 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to an hour before. For one trip only, a single ticket to Greenwich is cheaper; Uber Boat or a cruise? compares the passes with the river bus.
