Jordan was our host and Matt was the skipper. We did the 50 min tour and fast ride experience. It was a very very fun, funny and exciting ride. Jordan was top class and very funny. I’d recommend this to anyone. It was the highlight of the day.. Do it!
Great trip with John the captain and Jeff the guide. Very cool when they open the throttle up plus a nice, not overly long guided tour through the city. Music was banging.
Jeff and Joe were such funny and amazing guides!! I recommend this experience!
My son and I had a terrific time. Our guides, Jon and Jeff, were fantastic. It’s perfect for kids or adults. Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and very funny. Highly recommend
What a ride ! We had an absolutely fantastic time on The Thames Rocket, piloted by Ben and compered by Geoff. The experience was very well organised and communication from RocketsHQ was informative and helpful. Once onboard Geoff made sure everyone was engaged and generated excitement for the thrill of the ride. He’s a really funny guy. We helped some of the other passengers celebrate their special birthdays. When the speed comes it’s an absolute blast, the music creates a fab atmosphere (getting slightly wet is all part of the fun). This was the perfect treat for my Grandson (aged 10) and Nan enjoyed it to 😉 Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Stacy and Matt were great! The tour went very smoothly. It is a little busy around the pier but once there, the tour was very fun and informative
There's no better way to go on the Thames than with Thames Rockets, we had a wonderful time and the crew (James and Ed) were friendly and so much fun to be with. You start with a gentle cruise full of interesting and fun facts about various landmarks along the way, until you get past the reduced speed limit point, then the fun really starts! We absolutely loved it and would recommend the experience to everyone. Only 12 of us on board made it feel very personal. The staff, including the check-in lady, are a credit to the company!
Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re so glad James and Ed made your experience so much fun and that you enjoyed the mix of facts and thrills along the Thames. We hope to welcome you onboard again soon!
Great experience . Fabulous staff . Lovely to meet JP’s friends & colleagues . Thanks so much . Emotional .
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was very special for us to welcome you aboard and to spend some time together. JP will always be a much-loved part of the Thames Rockets family, and it meant a great deal to all of us to have you with us. ❤️
