About this tour

See London’s royal history from two memorable perspectives on this Tower of London and Crown Jewels cruise. Explore the historic fortress and view the Crown Jewels, then hear stories of royal heritage, famous prisoners, and landmarks including the White Tower and Tower Green. Your timed admission is paired with a 40-minute circular cruise aboard an electric riverboat operated by the Tower of London.

The narrated journey travels from Tower Bridge to Westminster and back, offering views of notable riverside sights. The quiet electric vessel makes a smooth ride, while narration written by actress and writer Martha Howe Douglas adds context along the way. The full experience lasts three hours and combines time on foot with a river journey, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
