Fantastic, thrilling and exhilarating experience

Fantastic, thrilling and exhilarating experience piloted by AJ and great commentary and entertainment from James! A great way to see the sights of London from the Thames. Learnt so much on the journey out and had a blast on the high speed journey back! Lots of fun, felt safe, valued as a customer and because the boats are speed boats it is a small group of passengers. Great value and a must do activity when visiting London. Thanks James - the perfect host!

Blasting down the Thames

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Ed and Steve from Thames Rockets! They were incredibly attentive and engaging throughout, making the experience feel fun, relaxed and personal. We loved hearing all the fascinating facts and stories about London while zipping down the Thames — such a brilliant way to see the city from a completely different perspective. The music was also absolutely spot on and really added to the fun and energy of the experience. Ed and Steve were fantastic hosts, and we’d highly recommend Thames Rockets to anyone looking for a fun, exciting and memorable way to experience London! Was great to be able to use our Tesco Clubcard vouchers for this experience, a really affordable way to complete the experience.

You won't be disappointed

From the moment we arrived, we were catered for. We were a little early. We were all allowed to get ourselves ready with the lifejackets, then we boarded. Joey was the tour guide and very knowledgeable. we learned a few fun facts about London. He was very engaging and entertaining. He then took a step back and let Charlene carry out her boat manoeuvres. Wow!! What a thrill. Mission impossible music too! Very good value for money.
