Traveler reviews
Exciting boat trip
Great trip, really nice experience. Safe and exciting!
A birthday to remember!
I booked the Thames RIB experience as a birthday surprise for my partner, and it exceeded all expectations! There were 9 of us in total, and every single one of us had an amazing time from start to finish. Nathan was an excellent skipper, delivering plenty of thrills while keeping everything professional and safe. Justin was a brilliant guide, full of interesting facts and great banter that had us all laughing. Everyone in our group loved it, and it's all we talked about afterwards. The combination of sightseeing, speed, and fun made for a truly memorable experience. It was the highlight of our weekend and a birthday we'll never forget. Highly recommend to anyone visiting London or looking for a unique celebration activity!
Disappointed
very expensive activity ... And at the moment of going... Phone call to cancel and offer me something else cheaper and especially much further away .... Very disappointed
Highly recommend! Great fun
We had an amazing trip yesterday. It was the highlight of our London trip for me, my partner and our ten year old daughter. Ed and Akira made the trip on the boat really special, we loved Akira’s historical facts and chat and then Ed kicked it up a gear and span us round the Thames at full speed. We felt safe and excited all at the same time. Thanks to Kai on land for fitting us with our life jackets as well. Highly recommend this trip
Disappointing customer service
We were excited to take this tour on our one day in London. Unfortunately my 8 year old daughter got sick with upset stomach and vomiting. I messaged the tour operator and never received a direct reply. I called Viator who was not helpful. Later I received and email from Viator stating that the tour company is asking for proof in order to provide a refund, such as a hospital note or DEATH CERTIFICATE. Well, the latter fortunately did not apply, and I had no intention of taking my daughter to the hospital with a stomach bug, but I also couldn’t put her on a speed boat for the tour. I would’ve been happy with a credit from the Tour company or a credit from Viator, and I said as much. I wouldn’t trust a company with my safety on a speedboat if they have such little empathy, and do not engage in any communication, with a family with a sick kid.
