My sister was visiting from New Zealand with her kids and we did this as a bit of fun. Used my Tesco club card points to get 4 of the tickets which made it a really good deal. Big shout out to Jazz and Chris as we all really loved it. Was definitely a highlight of their trip. Thank you. Xx
Ride of a lifetime

What a great experience! Took our 12 year old grandson for a birthday treat. Not only was the whole event incredibly well organised from start to finish, but every member of staff we met could not have been more welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The outward leg was great to acclimatise to the rib, where we had front seats, then, passing the River Police HQ, where speed restrictions end, the power was applied and we launched into an exhilarating, madcap charge, swinging from side to side in a frenzy of spray. The sweeping turn at Greenwich brought us into a terrifying plunge, crossing a boat wake that had us bouncing clear of the water and crashing down. Thrilling stuff. Finally, back in cruise mode, we were treated to a well-informed commentary as we returned to the London Eye pier. Our grandson loved it. Thanks guys, it was awesome.
brilliant

brilliant trip, Robbie was very interesting with his commentary and very easy to listen to, his pace was just right and he had a very clear voice. He made the journey very enjoyable. It was fast and thrilling, loved the 007 music!! well worth the price.
ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES EVER!!

AMAZING!! What a trip! What an experience!! Brilliant!!

Started with a funny and excellent tour from Bill…throughout. He was fab! And then the powerboat element at 35 knots from the skipper Nathan… what fun - it was like flying over the water!!

It was also my 11 year olds birthday and they made such a wonderful fuss include Stevie Wonder Happy Birthday!

To top it off, as it was Remembrance Sunday, 11am, we stopped outside the Houses of Parliament for the two minutes silence and the Bill/Nathan live streamed the 2 minute silence and Last Post. Very moving. Professionally respectful.

Amazing! Thanks!
Excellent experience with Thames rockets
