<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTickets from \u00a355.00: Afternoon Tea Cruise<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This tour lets your family have your cake and literally eat it as you take in the highlights of central London while enjoying a traditional English afternoon tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sights covered: <\/strong>Tower of London, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, The Shard, HMS Belfast, St Paul\u2019s Cathedral This cruise departs from the London Millennium Pier and takes your family on a relaxed tour through the heart of London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This includes commentary on landmarks like the Tower of London, London Eye and The Shard. Depending on the day, this can be more educational, entertaining or a bit of both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll also enjoy afternoon tea favourites like sandwiches, pastries and fresh scones with clotted cream and jam. Even the most picky of little eaters will find something to enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlimited tea or coffee is provided throughout the journey for parents and any younger tea drinkers in your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An afternoon tea cruise is a relaxed experience. It starts at 3:30 pm and lasts about 90 minutes\u2014perfect for keeping most kids engaged and entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cruise will finish back at the London Millennium Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adult ticket prices start from \u00a355, while children\u2019s tickets start from \u00a345. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: Afternoon Tea Cruise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking to make a meal out of your family\u2019s tour of the Thames? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets from \u00a355.00: Two-Course Lunch Cruise<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This tour from River Thames Cruises lets you treat your family to both great views and great food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sights Covered:<\/strong> Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, London Eye, The Shard, Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast The name says it all – the centrepiece of this cruise is a two-course meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main dish is chicken with mushroom sauce. For vegetarians, there\u2019s a mushroom cassoulet, but you need to request it when booking. Dessert is a baked rose water and strawberry cheesecake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As good as the food is, the dishes might be too complicated for the simpler palates of very young children or picky eaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tour takes the same route as the afternoon tea cruise. It heads west into Central London, passing the Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf and Tower Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those looking to get the best views or wanting to take some memorable family photos, the upper deck offers a 360\u00b0 view of the London skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the afternoon tea cruise, this lunch cruise takes roughly 90 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The boat sets off at around 11:45 and arrives back at London Tower Pier at 13:15. This makes a Two-Course Lunch Cruise ideal for breaking up a big family day out, giving you plenty of time to see or do things in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adult prices (ages 13 and up) start from \u00a355, and child prices (ages 2-12) start from \u00a341. Entry is free for children aged under 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: Two-Course Lunch Cruise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High-speed cruises let you and your family explore London from a perspective – and at a speed – you wouldn\u2019t normally experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets from \u00a359.95: High-Speed Thames River Speedboat in London<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This cruise takes your family on a 12-person speedboat for a fast-tracked tour of the Thames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sights Covered:<\/strong> London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul\u2019s Cathedral, Shakespeare\u2019s Globe, The Gherkin, The Shard, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and HMS Belfast \u2018Entertainment\u2019 is the name of the game here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only will you and your family be shooting down the Thames at speeds up to 35 miles per hour, but you\u2019ll also have commentary from professional actors and comedians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the guide isn\u2019t talking about London\u2019s landmarks, you can enjoy singalong hits on the on-board sound system. Who doesn\u2019t love a family singalong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The boat starts by the London Eye and travels east past St Paul\u2019s Cathedral, Shakespeare\u2019s Globe and Canary Wharf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life vests are provided as standard all the way down to infant sizes. Of course, what teens and tweens find exciting will likely be scary for little children. We would therefore recommend this tour for children aged 10+ years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High-Speed Thames River Speedboat aims to give you and your family a complete tour of London’s must-sees within 50 minutes, ending back at the London Eye Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children\u2019s tickets (for ages 1-14 years) start from \u00a349.95 and adult tickets start from \u00a359.95. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: High-Speed Thames River Speedboat in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for a simple, low-cost way to see the sights of the Thames with your family? A classic sightseeing Thames cruise is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets from \u00a326.00: Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing River Cruise<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make your family\u2019s visit to London your own – This unique tour allows you to chart a sightseeing journey of the Thames at your own leisure. Instead of rushing to make boarding times, this cruise lets you board any City Cruises sightseeing boat from any of the four piers. These are Westminster Pier, London Tower Pier, London Greenwich Pier and the London Eye Pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes a hop-on hop-off cruise a more relaxed option than navigating London\u2019s busy streets or the Underground if you have places to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On board, you can enjoy food and drinks from the saloon and listen to commentary from the crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All boats are wheelchair accessible and have disabled toilets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make the cruise as long or as short as you like! Start at Greenwich Pier and cruise to Westminster Pier, or fit shorter trips around your other activities. You and your family set the pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One ticket lets you hop on and off as many times as you want within 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Child tickets (ages 5-15) start from \u00a318, while adult tickets (ages 16+) start from \u00a326.

Key landmarks are picked out and explained by a guide, with pre-recorded audio guides also available in up to 10 languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the time of year, the cruise will be on either an all-weather boat or an open-air craft. Refreshments are available from an on-board bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After seeing the best of central London, your family will get to ride the London Eye for a birds-eye view. Of course, this might not be the best attraction for adults or children who don\u2019t do well with heights. This London Eye ticket can also be redeemed up to 90 days after the cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cruise itself is 40 minutes long, and the accompanying rotation of the London Eye takes 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets are \u00a346 for adults (aged 16 years+), \u00a342 for children (aged 3-15 years) and free for infants (aged 0-2 years). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: River Cruise and Standard London Eye Ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets from \u00a379.00: Best of London Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Experience some of London\u2019s must-see attractions up close with this education three-in-one package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sights Covered: <\/strong>Tower of London, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, The Shard, London Bridge, The Gherkin, St Paul\u2019s Cathedral, London Eye, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster, Buckingham Palace The first stop is a guided tour of the Tower of London early in the day before the crowds can build up. Depending on your ticket choice, your family will also get to watch the Opening Ceremony of the Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A leisurely tour of the Thames from Tower Pier to Westminster Pier comes next. Your family will be treated to both a new perspective on the attractions you\u2019ve just explored and a wonderful view of the waterfront, accompanied by detailed commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the tickets you have purchased, your family will then get to experience either a guided tour of Westminster or the impressive Changing of the Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the longer experiences on our list, this experience takes approximately 4 hours between the tours and the Thames cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets for adults (aged 15 years+) start at \u00a379 and tickets for children (aged 5-14 years) start at \u00a379, while infant tickets (aged 0-4 years) are free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: Best of London Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets from \u00a3169.00: London in a Day Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just because your family only has a day in London doesn\u2019t mean you have to skip sights – This tour covers as much ground as possible for a complete family day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sights Covered: <\/strong>Parliament Square, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul\u2019s Cathedral, Shakespeare\u2019s Globe, The Shard, HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, Tower of London This tour starts off with an early-morning tour of Westminster Abbey before heading to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard.

This is accompanied by insightful commentary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This busy day of sightseeing ends with an end-to-end tour of the Tower of London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While not wheelchair accessible, the entire tour is suitable for prams and pushchairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Altogether, the London in a Day Tour takes approximately 8 hours (including the 30-minute river cruise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between the long day, the amount of walking and the early start of 9 am, this tour might not be the best option for very young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adult tickets (ages 18+) are \u00a3169, children’s tickets (ages 6-17) are \u00a3159 and infants (ages 0-5) go free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit official tour providers to book tickets: London in a Day Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
