Great - The children - 13 and 10 loved it and my husband (80) was exhilarated. Absolutely recommend but beware of the timings of the Clipper boat getting there. We had to wait ages for a boat from Westminster so only just made the Tower RiB Blast just in time.

A brilliant experiment! - We had a family trip planned on Saturday with 3 teenage boys and weren’t sure what to expect. I have to say we were blown away by the fun and excitement of the crew. The captain was Ed and the guide was Akira. All I can say is well done!!

14th birthday shenanigans - It is lively but short. The activity is well organised, good quality equipment and attention to safety details. Scary but confident in staff ability to do a good job. A one off experience.

Fun for all ages - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thrills and Smiles for the Whole Family! We booked the Thames speedboat experience not knowing exactly what to expect — and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip! Our kids (ages 5 and 10) were squealing with laughter as we zipped along the river, while the adults couldn’t stop grinning. The perfect mix of high-speed twists, turns, and quick view of London’s iconic landmarks made it exciting for all ages. The music added to the thrill, and the views were unbeatable — especially flying past Tower Bridge! Whether you’re 5, 50, or somewhere in between, this is an unforgettable way to see London. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

The most fun to have on the River Thames!!!!! - The most fun to have on the River Thames! A huge shout out to Dennis and Mya from Thames RIB experience who absolutely made our day!!!!! We had trackside fires on the railway, we went to wrong place, had to jump on an uber boat to get to Embankment all to contend with on the day and top it all we arrived late! Dennis and Mya were so helpful and because of them we still had the best time! It was exhilarating, adrenaline pumping speeds, sooo thrilling and we loved the soundtrack! We will be back for another visit really soon!
