Unique and exhilarating… - The crew, George and Georgie, gave us a totally thrilling ride up the Thames from the Tower of London and right up to and through the Thames Barrier. A breath-taking and unique experience for adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers. You will see parts of London only viewable on the river. No effort is required on your part- just sit back and enjoy! They even played Happy Birthday to a passenger to make it an extra special experience. Highly recommended.

I couldn't stop laughing - This was a joint treat for my 52nd and my son's 22nd, and it was a blast! We had a warm welcome at the desk checking-in, and a quick safety briefing. Getting on the boat was easy, and then the fun began! Slow for a very short period of time, and then we were off. Speeding past London landmarks with turns and music blasting. I couldn't stop laughing and whooping. The best time I've had since last summer. The skippers were knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't get wet. Wear lots of layers, neck muffs, hats and gloves...it got cold! Best £50 I've spent in a long time, we will be back.

This trip delivers... - This trip delivers, exactly as advertised. You don't get wet (unless its raining, and even then they supply disposable ponchos), and it is indeed a thrilling ride. Nuff said.

This is exactly what you hope it will be :-) - The 'Ultimate tower blast' was exactly what I was hoping it would be - 40 minutes of speeding along the Thames to the flood barrier & back. I loved it, and the views of all the wharves & sights along the river were amazing!

License to Thrill -YES - This was a treat for my 16 year old Grandson. This was one of the best boat thrill rides you can have and he along with my wife left the boat with Cheshire Cat smiles. The commentary by Barry was great and the driver/pilot Asher was brilliant. We were lucky with the tide as it gave Asher a bank to bank opportunity to give us the thrilling ride on. The sharp turns, ride across the wake of other boats provided everyone with an adrenaline rush. I would recommend this event. They live up to their James Bond license to thrill.

Good Thrills & Journey. Definitely recommend for people who love fast journeys & thrills not so much a tour of London - Good Journey with a good choice of music & the speed / crusing mixed well with the music. There wasn’t a lot of commentary which was good as I’m not one for commentary. the music kept everyone entertained & singing I really enjoyed the journey but if your looking for a tour of London I would recommend something else as this only shows the docks, O2 & Thames Barrier.
