Great fun for any age. - It's a fun ride, quite a lot of movement so if anyone has back or neck problems they should be aware. Cain our host on the boat, was knowledgeable, talking throughout the slower part of the ride up the Thames in the speed restricted area, then Leo our skipper opened up the speed towards Canary Wharf. They take your pictures as we started to speed up. We were lucky to have the best just for the four of us so we were able to spread out and have excellent view of everything we were being shown. We had the experience in February, it was very cold at top speed so dress up warm. Great Fun.

Great, fast fun - John and Leo gave us a great trip down the Thames - racing past the landmarks and jumping the waves. Well worth is to feel the wind in your face and the odd but of spray.

Great fun even in the cold - In a cold Feb we were thinking twice about doing this but so glad we did. All had great fun. A good mix of educational sightseeing and high octane speed. Was nervous for my five year old who is generally afraid of everything but he loved it. We got given ponchos but stayed perfectly dry.

Adrenaline fuelled fun - I booked this for my son’s birthday. 3 lads and 3 mums. The boys loved it and laughed and whooped the whole way. Two of us mums loved it and laughed and danced and screamed. One mum was terrified and stayed silent the whole time, but once we got back she agreed that it was a buzz and then began laughing.
You get given a few facts about the area and can sightsee from a totally unique angle. Then they ramp the speed up to about 40 miles an hour, which in a boat feels much faster.
They play music (including Stevie Wonder Happy Birthday for my son) which makes it so much more exciting. It’s an adrenaline rush and was the best way to start our day of celebrations in London. These memories for us as parents as well as our kids, will not be forgotten any time soon.
Thanks for a great trip.

Laugh out loud fun from start to finish. - Laugh out loud fun from start to finish. An awesome trip. Visited with a family of 4 (kids of 8 and 10) and all absolutely loved it. Met at the pier as directed (really clear joining instructions were emailed well in advance of the trip) and were given a short safety briefing, fitted with good quality lifejackets and onto the boat in no time.
The siteseeing section of the tour was excellent, covering lots of the city landmarks, with some genuinely hilarious and informative narration from George B the tour guide. The tour then heads down river, out of speed restricted areas, and they seriously pick up the pace with the rib. Think high speeds, steep turns and ace music. Hats off to Leo (the Captain); his driving was awesome.
45 minutes of laughing and excitement, all to the tune of James Bond. What's not to like.
