    It was a nice experience, although the walk was a bit short. We left wanting more.

    A friend had recommended the tour to me, I didn't have very high expectations, I didn't think it was very exciting to see the sunset from a cruise ship, but I was pleasantly surprised. The River Thames is spectacular, we were fortunate enough to take the tour on a beautiful clear day, so we were able to enjoy the whole day with other activities.

    The tour is too short, time flies on this type of tour, I think it should be at least three hours so that it can be enjoyed better and without haste.

    A walk that serves as a great way to reconnect with oneself, watching the sunset from the cruise ship overlooking the River Thames was an experience I can't describe in words.
