5.00Had a great experience with my family. The speed ride was better (and longer) than I expected. Sofia was a fabulous guide and made it a lot of fun. A highlight of our London trip!
An Absolute Blast!

5.00This was my first time on a speedboat tour and I loved it! Loved getting background history along the river and than the speedboat ride itself. They played great music during the ride. Also our guide was very friendly, engaging and funny!
Best ever London tourist activity

5.00It was AWESOME! I went with my 11 yr old son & it was such an adrenaline rush! We both agreed it was the highlight of our trip! The guide Sofia and Skipper Jon were both brilliant. We literally felt like we were in a James Bond chase on the Thames! It also helped that it was a gloriously sunny evening so weather conditions were perfect.
The experience was fun...
