  • About

    Experience the best of both worlds with a relaxing, scenic lunch along the Thames, topped off with incredible views of the capital from the EDF Energy London Eye. Board Bateaux London's river cruiser from the glass pontoon at Embankment Pier, before tucking into a three-course lunch, followed by tea or coffee. During the cruise, pass many acclaimed London landmarks such as the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament. After lunch, disembark just a stone's throw from the London Eye. There will be a queue for a little while, but once aboard the air-conditioned capsule and slowly ascend, the superb panoramic views would blow anyone away. This experience is for one but is also available for two (BATTC) or four (BATTD).

    • Lunch (British based cuisine) aboard a stylish Thames river cruiser
    • Incredible views of riverside buildings and famous landmarks
    • See the Houses of Parliament, Shakespeare’s Globe, Tower Bridge amd more
    • Then step aboard the London Eye for a bird's-eye view of London

    Booking in easy, cruise and lunch very nice way to spend a couple of hours! The London Eye had great views. Worth a trip with family or friends.

    Wonderful Experience, A Must For Everyone

    My husband had always wanted to go on the London Eye ... as I was scared of heights I had put it off. This was an ideal way - a lovely calm trip on the Thames with fantastic food and service with a drop of wine for Dutch courage. The trip on the Eye was well worth the wait. Although I was apprehensive, there was no rocking or big movements that it felt so serene, and I was even able to go to the window to take photos. I am so glad I got this opportunity, it made the day and in fact was the highlight. Thanks Red Letter Days for a wonderful experience.

    I have been on a number of your trips. I have enjoyed them all, but I think this topped the lot. Much more than I expected. Keep it up.

    I have been on many similar excursions to this whilst in Europe but in my personal opinion this takes some beating! The food was very good and the service was excellent, I would highly recommend it.

    Excellent cruise

    The cruise was just excellent. I liked the surroundings on the boat, the symphonic music and very tasty food. The cruise staff were very professional and helpful. Thank you very much for a fantastic day. We really enjoyed it.

    Well organised and hassle free

    The Red Letter Day was a gift and I did not expect such a 'touristy' thing to be so well organised, hassle free, and a delight in every respect. Congratulations to all concerned!

    Lovely time

    We had an excellent day. Perfect from start to finish. It's a shame that you can't influence the weather but from the way the trip was organised I'm surprised that you can't do that as well! Many thanks and we will be using you again.

    Enjoyable day

    My husband is coeliac, and none of the normal menu was suitable for him - but I needn't have worried. Alternative food had all been arranged, and he was able to enjoy his meal.

    A lovely day

    It was a bit disappointing not to be able to choose food. However food was not the main part of this trip. It would have been nice to get a bit more guiding commentary. I think it was rather restricted, especially for people who are not familiar with London's landmarks that well. Overall it was a lovely way to spend Saturday afternoon.

    Fantastic day

    My husband and I had a really fantastic day; everything was perfect. This Red Letter Day was a Christmas gift from our sons - let's hope that they do the same again this year. It was a wonderful experience.

    A good day

    I received a Red Letter Day for Xmas from my brother and his girlfriend. I chose this experience for 2 reasons - I wanted to do something I would never do again and to conquer my fears, I am petrified of water and don't like heights, but I had such a good day I would definitely do it again!

    Fantastic service
