Really fun, a bit too expensive for the time but worth it for the fun anyways. Very nice songs giving the mood for the ride!

A must if you like fast rides with little or no tourist commentary

Fast, exhilarating and the highlight of our trip to London. We look forward to returning. The crew are very careful about safety so you can relax and enjoy the ride.

Highlight of our visit to London

I had booked the early ride since we were leaving that day. After being contacted the day before to reschedule, they upgraded us to a longer ride. It was AMAZING!! Best thing of our visit.
