I enjoyed the cruise overall. A few things that made it less than perfect was the smell…the lower air conditioned cabin smelled like a sewer. The upper level was nice but there was limited seating,... See more

Absolutely lovely afternoon tea. BUT. For the price I paid all of the food should have been lovely and most of it was. But the macarons were NOT macarons and they were not made right. It was just gooey meringue with no flavour and a cream in the middle that just tasted like pure butter 🤮 totally inedible and so we left that. The rest of the food was lovely though!
One of the women who was serving us was incredibly MISERABLE she was the one coming around asking about drinks and tea she didn’t smile once! If you don’t want to be there don’t do a customer service job…. And to top it all off
Stand at the exit at the end of the cruise with finally the only smile you ever had whilst holding the tip tray!!!
Of course I didn’t give you a tip you were absolutely miserable and impolite.
Tea could also be a bit hotter as it was pretty Luke warm.
There was a couple of black hairs on the plates on the afternoon tea stand so that was pretty of putting things like that shouldn’t happen when you payed just under £200 for afternoon tea.

Great customer service when I had questions about my booking. The representative answered all my questions while giving me tips on my tour. Very fun experience on the tour of Liberty and Ellis Island. I would gladly use this company again for my travel needs in the future.

I was at the Marina Del Ray location. Always a great time! The food is fantastic! The people are kind and they keep your glass full of mimosas or whatever you're drinking! My only complaint is that I left my sweater on the boat and tried calling back up there to see when I can come get it. I still haven't really heard back from the local crew. Their national customer service was helpful as possible but....I still don't have my sweater back. Otherwise absolutely great experience and worth the money.

We had a nice hour and it was informative. However the fish and chips although warm were very greasy and you had to buy a hot drink if you wanted one. Think a drink should be included with the meal and if you wanted more then buy them.
Staff lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our tea on the Thames. We upgraded to the priority seating and the view did not disappoint. (Also helped to have unusually clear weather). We also ordered champagne and wine (you can order on board you do not need to order ahead). We thought the food was very nice and filling! (Sorry had already had a few bites before picture). They accommodate dietary needs. The live guide was very entertaining and we could hear clearly. Our server was attentive and helpful on tea recommendations. My husband and son agreed it was a lovely outing.

We were so excited to surprise my mother in law for her 70th Birthday on brunch cruise. Then for no unknown reason I received an email that it was cancelled last minute! No explanation. Ruined our plans and had to think of something else to do! So frustrating. I will never book with this company again.
