    Der Service und das Afternoon-Tee-Angebot war sehr gut. Die Erklärung zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten entlang der Themse war sehr informativ, wenn man englisch versteht, jedoch sehr laut. Dadurch war eine Unterhaltung stellenweise nicht möglich. Ich finde diesen Ausflug sehr gelungen und empfehlenswert.

    De cruise met afternoon tea was goed verzorgd met ruim voldoende hapjes en de thee werd regelmatig bijgevuld. Er was wel verwarring want volgens hun lijst had ik voor 4 personen gereserveerd maar volgens mij had ik voor 2 personen betaald maar dit kon ik niet meer terugvinden in de bevestigingsemail .

    Zie vorig verslag. High tea slecht. Planning december en dan nog niet aan het raam met 2 kunnen zitten, ook niet bij navraag. Veel te veel mensen. Duurde lang voor je wat op tafel kreeg, behalve de bardrankjes die werden wel snel geserveerd. En gelijk vragen wat je wilt drinken van de bar, raar als je voor high tea komt. Ga lekker een boot boeken en High Tea elders in de leuke tentjes gebruiken. Zag er allemaal goedkoop uit.
