Absolutely Fantastic, Brilliant guides in Jack, Stacey and Charlene ...made it fun for the whole family and the music was great. Honestly such a good experience ... 💯 be returning 10/10 ...
This was a really fun experience. Both Ben and Ben helped create a high-beat atmosphere and the combination of sightseeing and speed-boat thrills made for a hugely enjoyable afternoon. We all came off the boat buzzing and smiling! Highly recommended.
We had the best time! Matt and Sophie were great fun! You get a bit of everything fun speed history!
What a fun morning we had on our Thames Rockets experience! We had AJ driving and Jay as tour guide - both super. This was purchased as a red letter day gift for hubby and I so cant really comment on the price but i'd say worth it for something a little different to do in the capital. Only reason I didnt give full marks for the meet up is because we were waiting a little after our allocated departure time and we had somewhere else to get to afterwards so I was getting a little angsty. All in all though a fantastic way to spend an hour - nice one Thames Rockets!
Was a birthday present and throughly enjoyed it ! Was an incredible experience . Both tour guide and operator knew exactly what they were doing !
Wow , what an amazing experience for our 27th wedding anniversary. Bill and Ben were fantastic and our a credit to the Thames rockets . We both had a wonderful time. Highly recommend 😃
Guided tour on the Thames in one direction. High speed thrills set to a killer soundtrack in the other. Driver Alex and Guide Steve both did a very good job.
Omg absolutely fantastic...... don't hesitate to treat yourselves to a thrilling & exhilarating boat ride with Jeff & Simon...... 2 brilliant guides ... honestly the best experience ever ... 💯 be returning 10/10 ...

An excellent experience....so so much fun! James and Ben were amazing. Would highly recommend
Thank you for your excellent review! We're delighted to hear you had so much fun on board. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board soon!
Really good fun. Puts a smile on your face. Ed was our guide, Bill was our skipper. A gentle start with commentary by Ed, then once outside the speed limit area they put the music on and open up the throttle. Expert handling by Bill - carving turns in the wake of other boats. Exhilarating without being a harsh/bumpy ride. Very little spray so we didn't get wet. Hints - don't wear a skirt because of the life jacket strap between your legs. Take a hairbrush to detangle. Wear a windproof jacket.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear you had such a great time on board and that Ed and Bill helped make the experience both fun and exhilarating. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure on the Thames soon!
