Hilarious

Sort of like being on a rollercoaster but with the added stunning backdrop of the best city in the world and James Bond music blasting as you tear up the Thames.
Ed was a hilarious host/travel guide, and the skipper seemed to love making sure we traversed the wash of each Uber boat that passed us whilst doing hairpin bends. It was a freezing day in London, and we didn't stop laughing from start to finish. We are Londoners, but Ed pointed out lots of interesting new and funny facts about the sights. You really should go!
So much fun!

We had such a great time! We loved Stacy's sense of humour and she was perfect with our 2 year old son who just loved the experience and keeps telling "boat again, boat again, fast fast"
Amazing adrenaline rush!

So much fun!!! I surprised my friend with this gift for her birthday and she absolutely loved it!!! The boat does go extremely fast once you pass the tower bridge . I was crying of laughter and screaming super loud! I would hand down book this again . Bill was our tour guide that day and John was driving the boat ! I hope we get them next time I come back to London! So worth it !
Brilliant experience

Absolutely fantastic experience! We did this for my son's 16th and he loved it. The crew were all welcoming and professional. Terrific high speed thrills with a great guided tour about London's history.
Super fun super fast ride

Great experience. Really fast rib ride. Ed gave us some excellent commentary which completed the experience. Sam our skipper handled the rib well and gave us a high adrenaline ride.
Great fun for the whole family!

We booked a 4pm slot for 4 of us (me, husband and two kids aged 11 and 13) and we all loved the experience. All credit to Bill and Simon who took us out in what turned in to torrential rain and hail storm. Very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout! The weather didn’t spoil it, seeing the bridges and buildings lit up as darkness fell was another highlight. Would recommend to anyone!!
Very Enjoyable Tour

This was an impulse purchase when we arrived in London, and we were lucky to catch a reduced price in the January sale. Their website was easy to use and we had no issues making the booking; although I noticed they have a sections in their TOCs that suggests if they trip is underbooked that they will shunt you to another time. I wish this explains whether you have to accept this or they will issue you a refund as we only had a limited time that we were in this area. In the end, as this was a Saturday, we figured that they were likely to run,
Bill was our guide and he was very good. He did a great tour presentation and we really enjoyed it.
We really liked the tour and the speed part. We were provided with cagoules by the staff but there was very little spray and I wouldn't worry about getting wet as long as you actually stay in the boat.
I would recommend the tour, particularly at the reduced January price. You get a 20% off code after you've done the tour too if you are likely to be back.
Fabulous family experience

TOP RIDE
Staaken59, 03-01-2023
Thoroughly enjoyable. Good briefing, friendly & enthusiastic staff (Joey and Mike), great ride down the Thames and back. I didn’t mean to embarrass anyone when I pointed out that a naval historical reference to HMS Belfast was slightly incorrect. Might be of interest to future passengers that she is a Light Cruiser, shelled the Normandy beaches on DDay, and her forward guns are aimed at the Scratchwood M25 service station 18.5km away. Yes, I’m a smart Alec.
