My mother isn’t the most mobile, so I was looking for a sightseeing cruise that didn’t require too much walking. This London river cruise lunch was perfect! We could sit back, relax, eat, and still managed to see all of London’s top sights. Plus the lunch was delicious. All in all, amazing value for money.
I expected we’d get some amazing views and a good lunch on this river cruise on the Thames, but what I did not expect is the audio commentary! While you’re looking at all this beautiful architecture, audio guides will tell you the city’s history and explain the buildings’ importance. I really learned a lot!
