Fun trip!

Starts off with our friendly guide and comedian Rocky getting to know the crowd, then goes into the really fun speed section. Loved the music during this part! Then, we slowed down and had a spoken tour. Rocky was very knowledgeable about the buildings in London and he was very friendly and sociable with the group. Would recommend, especially in the summer months!

Fun, Informative and will give you a grin that will last for hours after.

Had an awesome Hour. Ed was our very engaging guide. Could not wipe the smile off our faces for several hours after. A great mix of nice to see London from a different angle to Woo-hoo exhilaration, and then fun information on the route back.

Fast

Had a few hours to kill while in London. Having been on a "bay to remember" rhib ride in Cardigan and loved it, what better than to take a tour on the Rebel rocket. Wow that was impressive thank you Ed (I hope) and Tom also the chap on the berth. Impressively fast and views as well. Thank you millions, we'll done

So glad you enjoyed - come back again soon!

An absolute blast

One of the most exciting and fun things you can do in London. The Thames Rockets Rocket Rebel tour is an absolute thrill from start to finish. The sheer power and acceleration of the boat make it feel like a rollercoaster on water, slicing through the Thames with exhilarating speed. What really elevates the experience is the perfectly chosen music - high-energy tracks that sync brilliantly with every twist, turn, and burst of acceleration. The combination of speed, scenery, and soundtrack makes this one of the most exciting and memorable ways to see the city. I've done it a few times now and it's always a blast. Shout out to Rocky who I've had the pleasure of travelling with several times, and Matt who is a wizard at the wheel.

Operator response

Thank you so much for coming - we look forward to having you onboard again soon!
