Everyone loved this trip.... - Everyone loved this trip. The gentlemen who ran it were wonderful as well. You can see so many of the sights right from the boat. Would highly recommend for families. Littler kids might have issues on the saddle seats. But otherwise it is great.

Awesome experience that had a bit of everything! - Had an absolutely amazing time! Was such a cool way to see London with the unique views you get from the boat of all the famous landmarks by the river! It was also very exhilarating and fast which I loved, while also always feeling safe! To top it all off, I also thoroughly enjoyed learning all the fun and quirky facts that were delivered by the fantastically charismatic tour guide at the front of the boat between bursts of speed and adventure! All in all a fantastic experience that had a bit of everything!

Loved it! - There is a reason this trip gets 5 stars every time! It was so fun and the leaders were great. Debby had great anecdotes and between her stories and the boat driver's revving the gas I was laughing and screaming the whole time while also seeing and learning about the city. I'm so glad we chose Thames Tigers over the other options!!

Fun & comfortable - Debbie and Dave run a great tour with what ended up being fun and very comfortable. Wave jumping in your own seat kept you from bumping your neighbor…ask Debbie where the 70 million pound flat is! It really helped us learn the lay of the land —and river. Know where it is before you set out so you don’t miss it!

A must do experience! - We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Thames Rocket boat tour – a truly unforgettable experience! The sightseeing was incredible, with stunning views of all the iconic London landmarks along the Thames. The high-speed ride added an exhilarating twist that made it even more exciting and unique. A special thanks to our amazing tour guide, Debbie, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also full of energy and fun. She, along with her fantastic colleague ( Greg I think!), made the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable. We all especially loved the James Bond them tune music that played as we sped down the Thames making us all feel like we were part of a high speed chase! This is a must-do activity in London – we highly recommend it!

The best fun! - The ride was brilliant, absolutely exhilarating! The team of Debbie and Dave (driving and guide info) were brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A major plus is the seats, individual motorbike style seats that assist in your personal stability and comfort, rather than slipping onto our neighbour. Seriously fun!
