About this tour

See London from two memorable perspectives on this five-hour London River Cruise and Westminster Walking Tour. Begin on foot with a local guide, exploring 20 of Westminster’s celebrated sights and hearing stories of the city’s history, culture, and legends. Walk through Green Park toward Buckingham Palace, where you may see the world-famous Changing of the Guard, then continue to Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.

After the three-hour walking tour, make your way to Westminster Pier for a Thames cruise to Tower Bridge Pier. Relax aboard as riverside landmarks unfold along the water, including a passage beneath London Bridge. Your guide will direct you to the pier but will not accompany you on the cruise, giving you time to enjoy the river at your own pace.

Meet outside the Ritz at 150 Piccadilly, near Green Park Underground station. With a mobile ticket and a route that combines landmark walks with a river journey, this London River Cruise and Westminster Walking Tour offers a lively way to take in the capital. Bring your own snacks and drinks, then set out to discover the city.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.69 from 26 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 6.7.
