20 minutes on river Thames, views of Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, the Gherkin/ Shard but not much more. Speed is the thrill, accompanied by loud music. Not a cultural or educational event but kids will love the ride. Come early as they leave promptly.
A little pricey for a short ride that was under the 20 minutes promised but the whole family agreed it was a lot of fun and a highlight of our trip! Louder music, a guide pointing out landmarks w some London Trivia when boat was going slowly and water bottles on the way out would've been a nice touch.
It was a very fun experience. Well worth it and would highly recommend. The price was reasonable but It was over too quick and next time I am gonna go for the 40 minute session. Nice little adrenaline rush.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you had a great time and felt the adrenaline rush — that’s exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your note about the ride feeling a little too quick. The 40‑minute session is definitely the way to go if you’re looking for a longer thrill, and we’d love to welcome you back for that one next time. Your recommending us really means the world!
Excellent. We went with 2 x 72 year olds, 18 yr, 16 yr 12yr 11 yr and 8 year olds. We all loved it. Glad we only had the 20 minutes as we all want to go again but think the 45 minutes would be too long
Great fun tearing along the Thames and seeing Canary Wharf from the water. Small group - just 12 passengers per trip + 2 very friendly crew. They played the 007 theme during the ride which was fun. Don’t forget to get your photos at the end!
Thank you for the great review. We’re glad you enjoyed speeding along the Thames and taking in Canary Wharf from the water. It’s wonderful to hear the small group size, friendly crew and 007 soundtrack added to the fun. Thanks for the recommendation — and don’t forget those photos at the end.
Great trip, would definitely recommend it. Took three teenagers and it was a brilliant combination of a fun ride and seeing London from the Thames. Seemed a good length, enough to see lots and enjoy the speed.
Really good ride and a great way to see the sights from the river at speed. We did the shorter ride but I’d do it all again.
Great fun! Easy to book and good friendly service when we arrived for our trip. Dennis and George were helpful with life jackets and getting on and off the rib. The ride was great, fast and a real thrill. Our 7 and 9 year old grandchildren loved it, as did we! Would recommend, thanjs
Thank you for the lovely review. We’re delighted to hear the whole family enjoyed the ride and that Dennis and George made everything easy from the moment you arrived. It’s great to know the speed and excitement were a hit with your grandchildren too. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you all back again.
Relax and enjoy! Well run and great staff. This should be on everyone's bucket list if visiting London.
Fun experience with our grandchildren . We all loved it
