5.00Fantastic - the absolute highlight of our few days in London! We got upgraded from the twenty minute ride to the 45 minute one as there weren't enough people on our booked trip for it to go ahead, so we were pretty fortunate. Helpful and friendly staff, particularly our guide who gave us interesting sightseeing information during the first (slower) part of the boat ride including where certain action film stunts were filmed along the river. Then came the exhilaration of the high speed rush, complete with swerves back and forth across the water and round bends in the river! A nice touch to have music playing too... The high speed part was just the right duration - long enough to feel it was enough, not so long that it got too much..Totally recommend!
Awesome experience!!

5.00This trip does not disappoint! The view of London from the Thames is amazing, the tour guide was interesting and you can’t help but smile as you zoom down the Thames while they blast the James Bond theme music!
Wonderful experience

5.00We had the most amazing experience, the staff were so friendly and very informative. The pilot was professional and gave us the thrill of our lives. Very reasonably priced and the length of the experience was perfect. Having the music was such a good idea, especially the James Bond theme. The boat was not overcrowded, just another family on board which helped the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this experience.

1.00I had a car crash with my daughter and was unable to attend. My daughter who is 8 was devastated we couldn’t do it. I’ve called and emailed and heard nothing back about rescheduling. Truly disappointed and sad with the situation.
Must do experience!!!
