Ride of a Lifetime

What a fantastic experience this was. I went with 2 friends and we had a fantastic time. The lady who advised us about which trip to take was very friendly and helpful. The crew on the boat were knowledgeable whilst giving us tour information. Once we got up to speed it was amazing and exhilarating. Best 45 minutes of my life. Definitely something worth doing if you're in London.

100% Recommend

This is the third time I've booked one of these. Always fun and my friend loved it. You get the tourist chat and then fun music when you go fast! Our host was very friendly, cracking jokes and everyone had a great time.

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!
