Book it now! - I live in London and try to take all my friends from home who come to see me on a 70 min ride! I just love it! The sightseeing with comments in the beginning and then the music and speed! I could do it much more often!

One of the very best things to do in London, by far! - Absolutely brilliant! The best part of our two day trip to London by far. Scott and Leo were excellent and kept us entertained during the whole journey. It was great to learn some of the lesser known, but still as interesting, facts about the sights along the way and the James Bond music on board was a great touch. Absolutely top marks!

tatly not a Disaster - Have been twice. First time solo and approved , adrenalin pumping experience you need to sit Starboard, ie near water seats. 2nd was better as narrator did not show and was replaced by guy in ticket office- he really knew his stuff so was better than 1st time. Up for a 3rd time this Saturday to treat my 2 godkid twins at 10 this is for sitting their 11+ exams.😊

Tourists at Speed - We had our European Leadership Team over for a few strategy days and wanted to mix in some entertainment alongside it. The Thames Barrier Experience did not disappoint and they were all delighted to be "tourists at speed"....it was also great for the Londoners too, as you forget what amazing sights we have on our doorstep (the tour guides were also really funny so an added bonus) and it was a real adrenaline hit too. I couldn't fault the experience, ten out of ten, I'll definitely be booking it again,
