We took a private tour for two with Mike and it was awesome! The Lady A is a wonderful narrow boat,…read moreand you will never have a better guide than Mike. Mike's lifelong history and obvious love of the canals, how they were used and why, were highly educational and entertaining. From the African Hunting Dogs on the shores of the Zoo to the notches in the bridges from ropes once used to pull the boats, Mike knew about it all and had great stories to go along with it. The rate he charges for a private two person tour is incredibly reasonable. If big crowds aren't your cup of tea I highly recommend this tour. I imagine larger tours would be fine too - but the personalized attention and spacious accommodation was perfect for us. Bravo Mike - on our short trip to London we only did one "tourist"-y thing and it was your trip, and we couldn't have made a better choice. It was beautiful, educational, fun, and extremely memorable.

After reading the comments on this company on other pages I say 'Thanks God' I didn't buy a ticket from such a rude and fraudulent scumbag. Unfortunately, when I read David R's (Manager Water Tours) responses to the criticism expressed in the comments, it once again confirms an old adage - The fish stinks from the head!

I am hunter and gatherer - yay me!…read more Ross boat trips have four vessels of varying sizes that can be used for anything from fishing trips, power boat cruises, corporate events and hen and stag do's. For the fishing trips, the company go out five times a day, seven days a week, from March to November (providing the weather isn't too rough). Each trip lasts for a duration of 90 minutes which is ample time to catch enough mackerel for your tea (and probably enough to last you through the week!). The cost is £20 per head (£10 for spectators) and this included the use of fishing rods and bait. Its quite a simple technique and the boys on the boat will help you reel in the fish and kill them if you get stuck. The killing is a little gruesome but I believe its an important thing to do if you want to follow the process through from start to finish. It was maybe a little crowded on the boat which led to the lines becoming entangled on occasion. But its a fun way to spend a couple of hours, especially when the sun is shining and the seas are calm. I brought home seven mackerel, a pretty good catch. And being able to eat fish that was swimming in the sea just a few hours before is a true delight.

The cruise allowed different close up angles that are unattainable from land. The most notable landmark is the legendary London Eye, but also the main three landmark bridges: London Bridge, Tower Bridge and the Hungerford Bridge. The London Bridge is set just past the Hungerford Bridge and was much smaller than I thought and did not live up to it's expectation. For those who yearn for incredible pictures then this cruise is for you. It really doesnt matter which boat you take as long as you are on the Thames River.

I would recommend bringing layers in case it gets chilly or windy. The best time to go would be Spring/Summer in London! Crowd levels and overall atmosphere - The seating on this cruise is ample. But there are so many tourists that I remember waiting in line for a while to actually get on the boat. There is high energy amongst the crowd as London is a multicultural city that attracts folks from all over. Cruise route highlights - I believe I grabbed this cruise at the Tower of London stop and it goes on the River Thames. Great view of it. Try to sit on the edge by the side of the boat if possible. I sat on the top level (it is a two level boat) which was good for views also. Don't get stuck behind the middle cabin of the boat. Onboard amenities - Apparently there is a bar on board but I never tried it; not sure about restrooms either. Tour guide quality - knowledge, engagement, and narration is decent. Value for price - worth the cost!

The meeting point was easy to find and conveniently located near central London (we met across the street from the Museum of Natural History) at 7:30 AM. We departed shortly after as scheduled. Our tour guide Sinead and driver Richard were fabulous! My main complaint is the bus itself. The seats were very uncomfortable! Secondly, the bus did not have windows, and that day it was so hot in London (80 degrees F/26.6 degrees C), but the air conditioning was not working. We were basically baking inside the bus for 2 hours back from Stonehenge to London! The Stonehenge was beautiful! Definitely a must see!

As there was not much difference in price he opted to book us on the 2 hour trip. Below decks there's a bar/tearoom and toilets. Most people opted to sit on the top deck. This has plastic seating in the first 5 rows and the back rows have padded seats. Although it was a sunny day, it was cold whilst we were sailing - had I known we were going to do a river trip I wouldn't have worn a sun dress as I got quite cold! It was a pleasant trip. Commentary was via a pre-recorded cd talking about the sights and history to be seen along the bankside and it's quite fascinating to see all the lovely houses on the waters' edge. We asked for tea and cakes which was brought to us by the Captain's 'mate' a pleasant young lady with hair dyed green! It was an enjoyable trip aside from the fact that I'd taken my 5 year old granddaughter for whom the trip was just too long. She enjoyed going through the Bray Lock gates but at that age they don't understand the incredible engineering and history behind it.
