Forget the rest! Book this tour!! - Absolutely amazing Thames River tour with Deb and Dave, who are both so lovely and engaging. We had an incredible time!
Their operation is organized and professional, and we felt very safe throughout this exciting tour. We were pleasantly surprised with both the thrill and the information that we got from this ride. My 16 year old daughter says it’s the best thing we’ve done on our European vacation.
You could book other river tours but this one will make you confident that you made the best choice!

As my friend Tony the tiger would say, its great!!! - This was awesome and a definite highlight of our trip to London. Found them on Google and was lucky enough to get a spot the day after our wee one turned 6. Everyone sang happy birthday too which made it extra special. It trumped the London eye in bucket loads. Debbie and Dave were impeccable hosts with good clear communication on getting there and one of the best tourist things we've ever done in London town! Can't recommend enough! Rennie family xoxo

Awesome! London from a different point of view. - Beautiful tour, past places you don't easily visit as a tourist. A reason to come again. Friendly, enthusiastic welcome. High speeds with cool British music. London calling from the Clash! Playing air guitar over the Thames. Highly recommended.

Thrilling! - So much fun! We went with our 24 year old son who has lived in London for 2 years so we were looking for something fun and different- and this did not disappoint. A great soundtrack, brilliant couple who entertain and pilot respectively combined with iconic landmarks made for a brilliant experience.

High speed Sunday afternoon fun - Despite being very early in the season (British weather) and our party of 2 being the only people on board, the trip still ran as promised and we had an amazing time . Crew (driver and narrator) were very friendly and stopped at certain points to describe various interesting views and information. High speed thrills and some great music also . We will be back again in summer hopefully...

Fun tour for families! - This was a great, easy tour with our 2 families of 4. The boat ride was fun and comfortable! Easy location to find right next to Tower of London. The tour operators were very friendly and welcoming. The one negative was that it felt short for the price we paid. It's about a 45 min tour and I would have liked to see and hear about a bit more.
