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.

Our kids Favorite activity in London - Very well organized. Easy to book. Good value. Friendly staff. Fun for the whole family ages 6-50. Great to see so many sites/buildings from the water. Thrilling high speeds but always felt safe. Highly recommended and will do again during next visit to London.

Fantastic experience! - This is the second time we’ve done a boat trip with this company and we would highly recommend them.
We had a fantastic time, the ride is so much fun! Our 5 year old absolutely loved it as well.
We were also running late and missed our trip but Heidi was so kind and did everything she could to help us get rebooked onto another trip, we are so grateful for her help!

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.

Exceeded Expectations - Really good experience, fast in speed, interesting, value for money.
D was a great host & had lots of interesting facts, especially at the Thames Barrier & Ash was a brilliant speed captain, it almost felt like he was making the boat dance!
The accompanying music was good, especially the James bond, however some of the music didn't quite fit the experience ('murder on the dance floor', 'I will survive' ..)
We were in a group of 7 people & probably would have enjoyed it slightly more if we were all sitting together. But we would still all recommend it.
