5.00Brought my 16 year old son on a trip to London which included this and 4 more activities - Madame Tussaud’s, London Eye, Shrek Experience and London Dungeons…the speedboat tour was the absolute highlight for both of us!! Such fun! Nice to see the sights but also go for a spin at top speed…loved it! Commentary to culture is a bit for the first 20 odd mins and then music 007 style…highly recommend! Justin did a great job!
Absolutely brilliant

5.00I was looking for something different to do for my Birthday and this was ideal! Such a fun and exciting thing to do on the Thames and great to see Tower Bridge, The Tower of London and Docklands from the river. Easy to book with clear instructions, life jackets and ponchos provided. 20mins was a good blast of action on the river before food and drinks at Maltby Street Market! Loved it!
Amazing fun

5.00Amazing exhilarating trip on the river, starting slowly and increasing speed and turns. If you like fun fair rides and roller-coaster, this one is for you! Will do more often now, well worth the money!
