Family day out

We did enjoy this trip, but were slightly disappointed it wasn’t more exhilarating. We did a similar trip a few years ago and it was much more exciting, throwing us all over the place. I even looked back and gestured to the drivers to do that. They did a bit, but most of the tour was driving just straight. The music and the boat were great. The staff were also very nice. It was a slight shame.

Absolutely terrific and THRILLING experience!!

We booked this as a surprise for our daughters birthday and we were not disappointed - it was an absolutely terrific and thrilling experience!! Staff are very pleasant and helpful, plus explained everything very clearly. The atmosphere was fab on the boat and ramped up once the tunes starting pumping out from the speakers, especially the 007 theme tune! It was great to see London from a different perspective and being being on the water, you realise how big the city is!! Anytime we are back down, I would definitely be booking this again!

Excellent experience

Excellent experience, our pilots Matt and George were brilliant. Thrilling ride down to the Thames Barrier and back. Would definitely recommend doing this experience.

A treasured memory forever for all of us on board!

Fantastic experience. From arrival at the pier, being greeted at the check in, putting on our life jackets and of course the trip itself, we were treated like royalty. Great commentary, exciting and educational trip along the Thames. Music was perfect. James Bond theme tune to get us into full speed mode was cool. Happy Birthday for my Sister in law was nice touch. Thanks to all involved. Sorry, nearly missed out Tina that arranged the booking to suit our needs at short notice.
