City cruises was a really cool way to see the city in a different way. I’d say it’s great for local as well as tourists as you get to see a new side to London. Went on a day where the weather wasn’t the best but still had a great time so I’m sure it would be magical on a sunny day. I’d love to go back for a birthday or when I have a bit of money so I could do the afternoon tea on the Thames!
