What visitors say
Nice little trip up the Thames, with an education and some comedy thrown in for good measure. All staff were polite and friendly and the 2 mains guys were funny and charismatic. They involved the audience just enough to keep it fun .. Well worth taking your kids if you can. I signed up to "the sun club" for £2per month (cancellable at any time) and got a 50% discount so out family price (3a 1c) was only £45 !

Highly recommend, firstly friendly helpful staff Second we running late, very stressed, and 70 minutes late. But big smile, no problems, they let us go on next boat, at no additional cost. The show was entertaining funny, 55 minutes. Informative. Yes it’s a little more, than usual boats. But you get added entertainment. It’s good 15 minutes from tower metro station. Give yourself extra time. Don’t be 70 minutes late like us lol. Well done terrible team. 5 star

Was really unsure how this might go down, one of the kids like the horrible history books, the other has never given it a chance (and isnt keen on boats), so it was a bit of a gamble! Thankfully it was all very well organised, quite enjoyable, and interesting! Basically a play on a boat! We sat up top where all the action was, not really sure how it would have worked if people were sat in the inside area! Lots of facts about London, and very entertaining (as well as engaging with the audience, and adding the odd silly bit for the kids!). We will probably look at visiting some of the other Horrible History shows following this now...

We loved it but definitely not suitable for taking our 3 and half year old - she is still a little delicate. We the adults thought it was great, music, acting and interaction was well done. Great facts about London, it was a beautifully sunny day so got to see the best of London. The jokes are UK centric (about politics) but all in good humour. Would definitely recommend, very well priced at £25 for an adult!
