One of the most beautiful cities in old Europe, but which is not on the continent is London, which is crossed by the River Thames. Well, this peculiarity, which is repeated in other cities, has led me to think that it is surely a good idea to visit these capitals by taking a boat tour, a small river cruise that reveals history and monumentality from another perspective ...and it turns out that I believed that I had had an original idea and no, since there are several cruise ships that cross London.
The first thing to know is that With your London Pass you can access discounts at any of the companies that offer you a tourist tour by boat in London. In fact, in City Cruises you only have to show your London Pass at the offices where the tickets are sold and you can get on board for free.
For example City Cruises includes a 4-hour excursion by boat, on foot and by bus with a guide in Spanish, who will position you in the most important historical moments of London, from when it was a Roman settlement to becoming the city that today you see.
But let's go back to that excursion, centering the highlights along the River Thames, you will see the shopping center of London, Canary Wharf, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the old combat cruiser HMS Belfas, the Shakespeare's Globe and the Tate Modern museum, as well as the London Eye and the Millennium walkway, and of course, also Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.
And for the romantics of sailing the Cutty Sark site, but you will not see the ship because it is being restored.
So you know, today I started with London, but little by little I will be describing other small river routes through Paris, Prague, Amsterdam ... and many other cities, and not only European ones.
