Thames boat tours are offered by various cruise companies operating within London and other counties.

The River Thames is the major river that flows through Southern England, including London, Oxford, Reading, and Windsor.

Thames boat tours are in fact one of the most popular ways of sightseeing in London.

You can spend anywhere from 20 minutes to a whole day on a boat.

Though some of the sites may be a bit away from the river banks, there are Thames boat tours which offer day passes which allow visitors to get off and in the boat as many times as they want all day. The sites that one should not miss while on a Thames boat tour are:

Westminster Pier

From here, go on to Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall, and the Churchill Museum.

Waterloo Millennium Pier

This place is just right next to the London Eye as well as the South Bank arts complex.

Tower Pier

Take a look at the Tower of London and Tower Bridge from here.

Greenwich Pier

Visit the nearby World Heritage Centre of Greenwich.

What better way to enjoy lunch or dinner than on a boat and taking in the sights around you? Some Thames boat tours offer tea and breakfast along with the sightseeing. If you are looking for a full meal, though, you may want to check out specific boat tours which feature dinner and even entertainment. Here are some of the premier Thames boat tour operators that offer great dining and entertainment.

Bateaux London

You can choose from the elegant Symphony and the traditional Naticia.

Both boats have their own charm but there is no doubt about it, their lunch and dinner cruises will satisfy both your eyes and your stomach.

On Sundays, diners can listen to live jazz music while enjoying a set three-course meal.

City Cruises

For a relaxing dinner cruise with an accompanying cabaret show, the London Showboat is a good choice. They offer a four-course meal plus a complimentary welcome drink and a half bottle of wine. After your meal, you can dance your way back to London to some of the most popular music played live.
