If you are visiting the Capital City of England from abroad the mostvisited site is the River Thames. The Thames in London is a beautifultidal waterway carving through the heart of the City. Some of the moststunning architecture and most well known buildings in the World aredotted along the banks at various points. Big Ben, the palace ofWestminster, Tower of London, Canary Wharf and of course Tower Bridgeare all right on the river.

There are many ways of seeing these sites, open top bus, on foot or by bike. However in my opinion the best by far is to join a Thames river cruise. Londons river cruises are varied in price and quality. If you have a group or prefer a private Thames river cruise the only answer is to charter your own Thames Passenger Boat. There are many companies that offer private charter river boats.

If you are visiting from abroad the main problem is knowing whichare good and which are not so good. Websites can be misleading to theactual quality of the experience, in fact the best way to tell is tolook at the boats on the websites. The pictures are generally prettyrealistic and you can see what each boat is like and get a feel forwhat it would be like cruising down the Thames on her.

With regard to price the age old you get what you pay for ringstrue, however generally there is a base cost that no matter what you doit will cost that much to charter a boat. It is worth spending theextra as it really is not much more compared to the jump in the qualityof the boat and service you receive.

Another option you may want to consider is a Thames speed boat orjet boat. These fast sightseeing trips are a new and exhilarating wayto view the sights of London. I personally have tried several of thespeed boats and also the large jet boat. If you are after an extremeexperience the jet boat is by far the best.

Appreciation is likea much-needed rainfall to a farmer's crops that have been withering ina drought.
