5.00It’s awesome! Takes a little bit to get to the speed part, but then it’s so much fun! Music selection was really nice and appropriate. Emma’s directions were clear and she was so nice and friendly!! Max’s tour info was helpful and he was also super friendly and welcoming! Andy’s driving was a treat! It was like a watery roller coaster!!🩷
Highly recommend!!

Fun, but $$$ for what it is

3.00This was a fun excursion - but... I think it's expensive for what it is and the high speed portion is very quick. Shout out to Sophie who was a well informed and very funny guide of our boat. You cannot speed in the downtown area and she provided an interesting and fun narration as we went slowly up and down the river. When we finally got to the high speed area, that was a good time but went by very quickly. It's worth doing once if budget is not a concern.
Nice way to tour the Thames
