About this tour

Trace the story of London along the river that shaped it on a private London boat and land tour, led by a knowledgeable local guide. Over six hours, combine easy river travel with walks through four historic areas, taking in many of the city’s best-known landmarks along the way.

Meet outside Battersea Power Station Underground Station, then board Uber Boats by Thames Clippers with an all-day river travel ticket included. Walk through Westminster to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Horse Guards Parade, and the London Eye. Cross to the Southbank for Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market, and London Bridge, then continue by boat toward the Tower of London. Sail beneath Tower Bridge on the way to Greenwich, where you’ll see the Cutty Sark, Old Royal Naval College, and Queen’s House. The tour ends at the Royal Observatory after a short uphill walk, with views over London and the Prime Meridian timeline.

With a private guide, river transport, and breaks built into the day, this London boat and land tour offers a memorable way to connect the city’s riverside sights. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and set out to discover London from both banks of the Thames.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.67 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
