Traveler reviews
Ok
The ride was nice and the two members of the crew were Lovely. The amount of time you go fast is quite minimal and you spend most of the time cruising. The welcome and safety briefing at the pier is was quite unpleasant by a very shouty and unprofessional young lady telling us what to. The change of pier was notified at last minute but with enough information to get close to the departure dock.
Recommended
Recommended ! Cruised to Tower Bridge seeing the sights with great commentary then put the after burners on and sped down to Canary Wharf. Great experience with great crew.
Fun on the river!
Great speed ride and fantastic matching rock music sound.
Fun Ride Around London
We really enjoyed the Thames RIB Experience. The high speed ride was a lot of fun and the crew of John and Denis was friendly and did a good job of pointing out all the sights and telling us about each one along the way. We’ve been to London many times and seen all the sights but this trip gave us a totally different view of London looking at the whole city from the outside in vs inside out. Highly recommend!
What a 'Blast of an Experience 👍
Booked to go on the 'Tower RIB Blast - 20 minute tour' for Tuesday 24th March 2026, whilst down in London. It was really important that I did this as it was one of my dads bucket list items for London, which sadly he didn't get to do. At first when Georgie contacted me and said there were not enough people booked on I was devastated but she worked hard during that 24hrs to pull groups of people together to make an 'Amazing' experience happen (I can't thank you enough Georgie). The actual experience was great, the initial part is very informative about tourist information in London, actually learned a few things that we would like to visit (next time of course) but once you get far enough out the speed ramps up and you get your botox for free by fast wind and water spray but it's 'Fab'we loved it. Our Captain and Skipper - Dennis and George, we're great and really nice, made the experience better and I would highly recommend even thinking of sending the boys on it next time, might go back myself. The best bit, my dad did get to experience it with me (I had some of his ashes with me - not for everyone but ment a lot to me) So a Massive Thanks to Georgia, Dennis and George 👍🌟
