5.00Absolutely had a great time. The tour is fantastic, loads of great London sites where you get a completely different perspective from the river. It’s also a super professional operation. So much fun.

5.00Do it! Did this trip today with John & Max - absolutely the best thing we ever did in London. Brilliant mix of boat tour & info until past Tower Bridge and then a thriller of a ride down to the Thames barrier and back. Despite it being -4 celcius feel today we loved it. Tip - lovely clipper lounge at embankment pier - handy for drinks, snacks & loo before / after.
Simply the best !!!!

5.00"WOW" Just wow !!!! What an amazing experience from start to finish. The guys who took us were simply awesome from the safety briefing through to the high speed section, the weaving was an added fabulous bonus. We did this for my Dad's 90th birthday and he ranks it as one of the best experiences of his life, so huge thanks guys, you made a fabulous day out of this world. Simply can't recommend highly enough.
WONDERFUL!

5.00What a great experience! Were cheerfully welcomed by two young guys who were very friendly. From the moment we stepped on board it was a top atmosphere. Tour was well given, lots and clear explanations with some humor so certainly not boring! Very good playlist on board! And as icing on the cake the high speed part ripping on the Thames with sounds of James Bond in the background. Simply amazing! Absolutely recommended!

5.00It was a really great experience. Fun and laughs. Great crew who gave a little history of the sites before putting the hammer down and blasting down the Thames.
