The view was amazing, the boat was clean and staff were friendly. La Vacanza Travel kept sending me a reminder which was good that it was hard to forget.

Greenwich - a marvellous destination. Seeing the Globe Theatre lit up on the return trip was an extra delight. On board commentary was a bonus, and the service is efficient and friendly. Nice warm interior lower deck on the return journey back to Westminster. I will do this trip every time I visit London, and stay much longer in Greenwich.
