Rowing on the River Thames has been chosen as one of the world’s great adventures in a new Lonely Planet guidebook.

The guide describes a Thames row as “like sitting on a conveyor belt watching living history pass you by on both banks”.

The book includes such activities as tracking mountain gorillas in Uganda and cycling Nepal’s Annapurna circuit.
