Family day out in London review: Cruising the city on the River Thames 

Watching London from the River Thames on board of a comfortable cruise boat is the best way to enjoy our capital. 
The night cruises including live music can be romantic as well as entertaining. 
The daytime cruises are enjoyable also for the children. 
The ultimate family day out

During the cruise we saw all London’s iconic riverside landmarks (Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, the Globe to name just a few)  while enjoying an aperitivo and a typical British menu. On the open upper deck we took a few memorable panoramic views. 

My friend and I totally made the most of all the fantastic photo opportunities from the water. The kids activity books are handy to keep the little ones entertained, although London landmarks already provide enough entertainment and the perfect way to get a different view of the capital.

We experienced a dining cruise with live music. The delicious food included burgers, chicken and mushroom, fish and chips, apple crumble.
