Here at West End on the Thames we specialise in Thames river cruises and we’ve noticed that a lot of our corporate clients are looking to enhance their events with the use of a very specific type of additional entertainment option. We offer luxury event experiences and our bespoke packages are supremely flexible. And one add-on that we’ve seen growing in popularity, is the addition of a tour guide.

Our engaging tour guide floats around your event, interacting with guests as they mingle both inside and outside the boat. Our guides are vastly experienced and offer the perfect accompaniment to a boat trip that winds its way down the Thames, past all of London’s magnificent landmarks.

These expert London tour guides provide fascinating facts offering historical context to all of the famous sights you pass. This makes for an excellent icebreaker, particularly for networking events, where conversation starters aren’t always easy. Our tour guides can help ease people into conversations, creating a topic for discussion, massively enhancing your event.

As well as networking events, tour guides are also popular with a number of other corporate hospitality events, such as socials and luxury transfers that take you through the city to your destination. From speaking to clients, we’ve found that guides are particularly great for events that include attendees coming from outside London or even outside the UK. This allows them to add a unique perspective for those who need it most.

Complete experts in what they do, our tour guides are discreet and do not intrude too much on the event. They’re skilled at judging when to approach individuals or groups and are able to socialise with ease.

If you’re interested in booking a corporate event in London, then why not consider booking a River Thames cruise with a tour guide to entertain attendees as you make your way through the city? For more information about this, you can reach out to our team at 020 8323 5827 or contact us via the form on our website. Alternatively, you can submit your event interest and select 'Tour Guide' from the 'Build Your Event' form.
