About

See the beautiful riverside views of London, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch and join a tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. You'll board the restaurant river cruiser from a glass pontoon reception at Embankment Pier. Then relax on board and enjoy a three-course lunch with glass of wine, followed by tea or coffee. But don't let the great food distract you from the fabulous views, as you cruise past the London Eye, the Tower of London and other iconic landmarks. After lunch (from a seasonally changing menu) you'll disembark at Embankment Pier and make your own way to the theatrical Globe of William Shakespeare (a pleasant stroll along the river) where you can enjoy an informative guided tour and view the exhibition. Your experienced guide will fill you in on the history of Shakespeare's fascinating life and success in writing theatre productions - some of which are still performed at the Globe today.
