An absolute THRILL

We just arrived in London for a family holiday and this was our first activity. I already know this is going to be the highlight of our trip. This was an AMAZING experience! My husband and I loved it and our not-so-easily-impressed 6 year old son kept saying how “cool” it was and it was “the best ride ever”. The crew were fantastic, every single one. The tour with Sofia was hilarious and informative. It’s a small boat so very intimate. The ride itself was out of this world. Can’t recommend this enough!
A Must do with kids
