Fabulous experience

Stacey our tour guide was absolutely brilliant. She was fun and knowledgeable and made the boat trip even more enjoyable than we anticipated. Our skipper AJ handled the boat with apparent ease and made such high speeds a thrilling ride!

Exhilarating Thames Speed Boat experience.

Absolutely exhilarating speed boat trip on The Thames. This was my second time on this trip,the last time was January 2022 and again didnt fail to thrill!!! Ben and Rocky were our skipper and guide. The commentary from Ben was very informative and humerous. Ricky's twists and turns only made the experience fantastic. The boat can come down hard on the water so if you have back or neck problems or queazy this may not be for you. I have slight problems and felt sore later on and the next day as if someone had given me birthday bumps on my back. However, I would definitely do this again despite this.

Fantastic

This was a fantastic experience! The weather was very changeable, but Sofia provided us with thick coats, ponchos and goggles to protect us from the rain. We had such a good time - Sofia was lovely and very informative, and Tommy did a great job of driving the boat. Highly recommend it!
