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.

Absolutely brilliant! - Had the pleasure of this experience today with Jack and AJ taking care of us on the boat. A sedate ride up to Tower Bridge and then keeping a lid on things until we got past 'the feds' and then the hammer went down and it was an exhilarating blast up past Canary Wharf with some banging music. All too soon we were heading back, again slowing for 'the feds' before another blast up to Tower Bridge. Drinkies were provided on a very enjoyable steady cruise back to our starting point. Absolutely 100% recommended - we WILL be back!

Excellent - It was a rather cold, grey and slightly drizzly day when we did our trip - 4pm in late October - my son and I, and his two kids, ages 7 and 12 respectively. Our guide, Robbie, was excellent. - lots of humour - the first part of the trip was fairly sedate with Robbie pointing out various landmarks and giving a bit of insight. Then, after we had passed under Tower Bridge, the real fun started. There is a very good sensation of speed and plenty of high speed turning which made is very exhilarating, with the speakers blasting out suitable adrenaline-fuelling music. The return journey, with the light fading and many buildings along the Thames illuminated was a different experience but a lovely “wind down” after the exhilaration. The children really enjoyed the trip. It felt well organised with good safety precautions - we were shown how to put on our life jackets correctly before boarding and there were child-sized jackets for the 7-year old. We arrived early so we got seats at the front, which was great. I would strongly suggest warm clothing - layers are good - something with a well fitting hood is fine but don’t wear a hat - I lost my baseball cap in one of the high speed turns! There is a bit of spray, but you don’t get really wet. Excellent trip - thoroughly recommend.
