No Time to Ride - Thrilling experience, we loved our tour guides Scott + Leo. Nice touch with the opener of the music (no spoilers). Absolutely worth the extra spend, unforgettable experience made us both feel like little kids!

Absolutely great - We went for an anniversary treat and it was really great. It was on time and easy to find. The staff were helpful and welcoming and we felt safe. It was lovely to see the sights and so much fun when the rib went fast. It would not be suitable for people who have motion sickness. Really great and would recommend it to anyone. Worth taking the 70 minute option to the Thames barrier.

12/10 for this experience. Book it!! - This was the highlight of our trip. The staff were so friendly and informative. The boat was spotless and crew fantastic at the tour information. Easy to understand and witty. You see all the sights and get interesting facts. The high speed was so much fun and very comfortable. My 9 year old son didn’t stop smiling the whole time. Thank you to Scott and the captain again!!

Surprisingly fun, perfect for jet lag day! - My teen daughter wanted to do this and I was worried it would be lame. It was perfect for the day landing in London with jet lag from the US. It wasn’t that informative (and difficult to hear), but great views and really loved the ‘fast’ part of the ride. Very fun!
