Max and Bill, Thank you, what a ride!

The sites were so beautiful with the sunset, especially Tower Bridge when the sun set right in the centre. The ride itself was thrilling and perfect for any age, all is us thoroughly enjoyed it and would 100% recommend.

A great way to end a sightseeing day in London

A fantastic experience. We booked the 7pm tour, as I thought the sunset would look spectacular (it was). The family was all flagging after a full day of sightseeing around London; but 50 minutes of high-speed boating picked us all up! Max was a great host (rubbish photo of him, he was literally smiling and joking all of the time). It was a excellent fun tour and the perfect way to finish off a day. Many thanks to Max and Bill!

Action and fun

It wasn't the first time and it certainly won't have been the last. The tours are always super fun and the tour guides really entertaining. It's a lot of fun and you get to know London from a whole new angle.
