A great experience and very slick in format. Nice personable crew who made all of us feel welcome.
Awesome best thing i have done it london after 46yrs. Loved the high speed, could of been more full throttle, but I guess there are speed restrictions on the water. Loced the bumpy rides, loved the sharp turns, i loved it all great experience, can't wait to do it again with a group of friends.
This was sprung on me as a surprise about an hour beforehand. Me, my wife and 6 year old went and it was sooooo much fun! My 6 year old was dozing off at first as the sight seeing initial ride was nice and relaxing BUT as soon as they opened the engines up they were wide awake and loving every second of it!!? The on dock staff were great and the boat guys (sorry rubbish at remembering names) were also great. There's a reason 5 of the 10 people on board were repeat passengers! Great experience.
Thanks so much for the lovely review. Sounds like your trip started off nice and chilled, then turned into a proper thrill once the engines kicked in — love that your little one went from dozing to buzzing in seconds. Really glad to hear the team on the dock and the crew on the boat looked after you all. They work hard to make sure everyone feels welcome and has a cracking time, so it means a lot to hear it. And having half the boat made up of returning guests — that really does say it all. Hope you and the family keep making memories like this, and we’d be well happy to have you back on board whenever you fancy another go.
I really enjoyable experience for my birthday Was a lot of fun
Had a lovely experience crew and staff was great.
Dads 80th trip . Absolutely hilarious funny trip blasting through london .. Jumping wakes off other boats so much fun ..the commentary was brilliant..captain awesome. We even spotted a seal on the way back at the Thames barrier so cute .. James bond music great touch .. See you soon bringing hubby next .x
Thanks so much for sharing this — what a brilliant review. It sounds like your 80th trip was packed with laughs, high‑speed fun, and those classic London river thrills. Jumping the wakes, blasting through the city, and enjoying the commentary clearly made it a standout run. Your kind words about the crew are wonderful — they’ll be delighted to know they helped make the experience so entertaining. And spotting a seal near the Thames Barrier is such a rare little bonus. We can’t wait to welcome you back again, with husband on board to boot!
This trip was the best experience out of the 4 days we were here. Communication with rhe company was great as not enough people booked on my trip so they sorted us out with another. The commentary was informative and the high speed bit to music was fantastic. What a way to see London!! I'd recommend 100%

Excellent trip with the family, the staff were really friendly and helpful, highly recommended to anyone looking for a great experience in London.
We had an outstanding experience. Our guide George was informative, friendly and entertaining, dispensing information and anecdotes about the Thames with humour and warmth. Matthew's boat handling skills are exceptional and the ride was exhilarating and fast, yet we felt that we were in safe hands throughout. Highly recommended.
We are most pleased that you appreciated both the skill of your captain and the commentary and hosting of your guide. Even better that you have brought their names to our attention, so that we can commend them accordingly. Please advise us of your return custom, the next time you visit! Kind regards
Fantastic trip. Historic sites with info from the guide.....close up views from the river....passing under the Tower Bridge.....then the high speed Rib Boat experience..... What can be said? Just do it!
