An experience to remember
Today we went on the Thames rocket speedboards, and it was absolutely first class. I forget the young man who was telling us the main script, and the speedboat driver, But what will say is that it was a fantastic experience, and I would certainly recommend it.
If you are on the fence, this is your sign to book with no regrets.
Thames Rockets was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I do not want to spoil the experience for anyone who has not done it yet, but it was far more exciting, fun and memorable than I expected. The whole team were fantastic, full of energy, and made everyone feel safe while still keeping the experience thrilling. Jeff was the main person looking after us, and he was instrumental in making the whole experience so enjoyable. His energy, humour and professionalism really stood out. The boat driver was also outstanding, handling every turn, wave and movement with absolute excellence. You could tell we were in very capable hands throughout. The ride itself was the perfect mix of sightseeing, humour, music and adrenaline. It is one of those London experiences that genuinely feels different from the usual tourist attractions, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do something fun and unforgettable. An awesome experience and easily one of the highlights of our trip.
Great fun
