Fabulous way to see the key London sights while having some fun on the Thames!! Our skipper George and guide Kia were amazing!!
Nathan and Kai were absolutely fantastic!!!!! One of my new favorite experiences in London!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip up the river with Thames Rib Experience. George and Kai were fab. Our original trip did not reach the required numbers but we were contacted the day before and offered another time and free upgrade from our 45 minute trip to the 70 minute trip. It was excellent and I would defo book this again.
Leo and Kai were great. Super fun experience for the family, especially during the warmer weather!
Justin and Leo were excellent. Really informative and funny. Such a good time and have already recommended them to others
Thank you for coming to share, and name your crew. They will be delighted. Kind regards.
Ed and Kai were really great. Just the right amount of time on the boat and happy with the sightseeing and high-speed combo. It was great fun.
Ed and Kai will be absolutely thrilled you named them; they put their heart into every trip, and it means the world when guests feel that sparkle. So glad the mix of sightseeing and high‑speed fun hit that sweet spot for you. A little glide, a little rush! Come back again soon.
The ride was nice and the two members of the crew were Lovely. The amount of time you go fast is quite minimal and you spend most of the time cruising. The welcome and safety briefing at the pier is was quite unpleasant by a very shouty and unprofessional young lady telling us what to. The change of pier was notified at last minute but with enough information to get close to the departure dock.
Hello and thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We are overjoyed to hear that your experience was enjoyable and that you found our communication helpful to arrive to the pier correctly after a last minute change. We try to avoid these changes but sometimes they do happen and we thank you for being cooperative. The experience you travelled on travels through the centre of London where a guided commentary takes place in the parts where there is a speed restriction - we also have trips that skip central London and go straight into high speed, from Tower Pier. Our staff do need to elevate their voices to be heard over the noise of a busy pier and convey important safety information.
Recommended ! Cruised to Tower Bridge seeing the sights with great commentary then put the after burners on and sped down to Canary Wharf. Great experience with great crew.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us!
Great speed ride and fantastic matching rock music sound.
We really enjoyed the Thames RIB Experience. The high speed ride was a lot of fun and the crew of John and Denis was friendly and did a good job of pointing out all the sights and telling us about each one along the way. We’ve been to London many times and seen all the sights but this trip gave us a totally different view of London looking at the whole city from the outside in vs inside out. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for the brilliant review. Sounds like you had a proper good time out there — the high‑speed bit always puts a smile on everyone’s face. John and Denis will be chuffed to hear they made the trip even better for you. Love that even though you’ve been to London loads of times, seeing it from the river gave you a whole new angle. It really does hit different when you’re looking at the city from the outside in. Really appreciate the recommendation, and we’d love to have you back on board whenever you fancy another blast down the Thames.
