Awesome ride! - This was an awesome ride. The slow parts and photo ops were great. The sped up part was even better! And they had great taste in music!

Great experience - A really great experience, lots of high speed swerving around, loved it. The safety brief at the beginning was very reassuring and I felt safe and comfortable for the whole trip. Plus we got an upgrade to a longer trip when there weren’t quite enough people on the one we booked.

Highly recommend - Fantastic experience, amazing views of London from the river and some really interesting commentary. I lived in London for over 11 years and found out new things about the bridges that I'd never known before. Brilliant for families. Thoroughly recommend this!

Thames Barrier cruise - Initially there were not enough people on our booking, but the team kept in contact and as we got closer to the day it was confirmed, so worth waiting to see. The three of us had a great trip with Dean (the skipper) and Matt. Learned some new things about landmarks on the river and enjoyed the fast ride part of the trip with music. Great to see the London Barrier - actually closed for the annual test day, which was interesting. Highly recommend.

Girls weekend in London - My friend & I booked this tour for a bit of fun on our girls weekend to London!
Easy to find directions, the lady at the reception kiosk was friendly & informative.
The two guys that took us out on our trip were friendly & were detailed in the knowledge of all the landmarks that we slowed to look at. Then the real fun began! Speeding up & down the Thames to Bond was so much fun especially at the end when we caught the wake of a boat a head of us, loved the experience would definitely recommend it.

An amazing experience – way beyond my expectations! - I had already been on a speedboat ride and I thought I had seen it all... but this time the team set the bar even higher! The organization was impeccable, the Mood on board exceptional, and the crew showed a communicative enthusiasm to make this moment truly unique. Between thrills, laughter and entertaining comments, everything was there for a memorable experience.
It is without hesitation the highlight of my stay in London! For those who want to live an adventure full of adrenaline and discover the city from a new angle, it is simply unmissable.

Absolutely Unforgettable – Even Better Than Before! - I had done a speedboat tour before and thought it couldn’t get any better – but the team proved me wrong! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, the atmosphere on board was amazing, and the crew went above and beyond to make this the absolute highlight of my stay in London. The mix of adrenaline, fun, and witty commentary was simply outstanding.
Without a doubt, the best experience of my trip to London! If you’re looking for an incredible thrill and a unique way to see the city, this tour is an absolute must.
Best crew Ed&Barry!
