Awesome staff, Imogen as MC was great, charismatic and funny, Jordan on the dock was welcoming and knew his stuff. Great team, thanks for a wicked trip!
Today we went on the Thames rocket speedboards, and it was absolutely first class. I forget the young man who was telling us the main script, and the speedboat driver, But what will say is that it was a fantastic experience, and I would certainly recommend it.
Thames Rockets was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I do not want to spoil the experience for anyone who has not done it yet, but it was far more exciting, fun and memorable than I expected. The whole team were fantastic, full of energy, and made everyone feel safe while still keeping the experience thrilling. Jeff was the main person looking after us, and he was instrumental in making the whole experience so enjoyable. His energy, humour and professionalism really stood out. The boat driver was also outstanding, handling every turn, wave and movement with absolute excellence. You could tell we were in very capable hands throughout. The ride itself was the perfect mix of sightseeing, humour, music and adrenaline. It is one of those London experiences that genuinely feels different from the usual tourist attractions, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do something fun and unforgettable. An awesome experience and easily one of the highlights of our trip.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so pleased to hear we exceeded your expectations and that your Thames Rockets experience was one of the highlights of your trip. Jeff and the skipper will be delighted to hear your kind words—we'll be sure to pass them on. We look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon!
Great fun, amazing staff. Definitely recommend
Thank you for your great review! We hope to see you onboard again soon!
What an amazing experience! Max and Bill were absolutely fantastic, such funny, down to earth and knowledgable guys. The sites were so beautiful with the sunset, especially Tower Bridge when the sun set right in the centre. The ride itself was thrilling and perfect for any age, all is us thoroughly enjoyed it and would 100% recommend.
Thank you for coming and for your lovely review!
This was a great experience with great views, fun facts and an exciting journey down the thames! The team was great, we had Jay and Alex on our boat, they were both excellent at their jobs and made sure everyone had a great time!
Thank you for coming and for your lovely review!
A fantastic experience. We booked the 7pm tour, as I thought the sunset would look spectacular (it was). The family was all flagging after a full day of sightseeing around London; but 50 minutes of high-speed boating picked us all up! Max was a great host (rubbish photo of him, he was literally smiling and joking all of the time). It was a excellent fun tour and the perfect way to finish off a day. Many thanks to Max and Bill!
Max and Bill are great! Thank you so much for coming!
Great experience, good atmosphere & I really wish I could remember their names but each of the staff on board were amazing!
Thank you so much for coming on board, hopefully see you soon!
It wasn't the first time and it certainly won't have been the last. The tours are always super fun and the tour guides really entertaining. It's a lot of fun and you get to know London from a whole new angle.
Had the pleasure of this experience today with Jack and AJ taking care of us on the boat. A sedate ride up to Tower Bridge and then keeping a lid on things until we got past 'the feds' and then the hammer went down and it was an exhilarating blast up past Canary Wharf with some banging music. All too soon we were heading back, again slowing for 'the feds' before another blast up to Tower Bridge. Drinkies were provided on a very enjoyable steady cruise back to our starting point. Absolutely 100% recommended - we WILL be back!
We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you so much for coming.
