5.00What a thrill! This was one of our teenagers’ highlights of our trip. The speedboat gave us the view of London from the River along with the adventure of speeding down the River like we were in a James Bond movie. Highly recommend!!
For all ages

5.00It's a fun ride, quite a lot of movement so if anyone has back or neck problems they should be aware. Cain our host on the boat, was knowledgeable, talking throughout the slower part of the ride up the Thames in the speed restricted area, then Leo our skipper opened up the speed towards Canary Wharf. They take your pictures as we started to speed up. We were lucky to have the best just for the four of us so we were able to spread out and have excellent view of everything we were being shown. We had the experience in February, it was very cold at top speed so dress up warm. Great Fun.
Such a great experience...
