Top experience and worth repeating - What an experience. Really great. Good explanation before you board. Nice detail is the more than fitting music played on board. As soon as you see the Tower Bridge behind you, nice photos will be taken that you can buy later. We thought it was really fantastic and definitely worth repeating but a little longer:-).

Great experience for the kids - This was a real adrenaline-charged thrill for my 8-year old grandson. He was screaming with excitement as the boat swerved and sped down the Thames to the James Bond music. 40 minutes took us from Tower Pier to the Thanes and back again. I highly recommend it

Probably the fastest way to travel the Thames! - My family and I booked this trip to celebrate my 65th Birthday and we were not disappointed. The 6 of us all love RIBs, but this was our 1st time on the Thames. The trip was well organised and totally safe. We were greeted on the pier and given our life jackets and optional poncho. We were then soon off speeding down the Thames, seeing the sights and catching the bow waves of other river traffic. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will certainly do it again. No one got really wet, and no one felt ill. We just had a great time. Do follow the instructions and get there at least 15 mins early. Also go directly to their office on the pier. Dont wait in line for the Uber boats or you will miss your trip!
