Like being in a music video but laughing too much to look cool x - Really enjoyed this experience! Comfortable seats so no sore bums or backs . Great music to match the ride ! Barry's commentary made the trip as he was knowledgeable funny and reminded me of DJ Beats from people just do nothing...really memorable day . Would highly recommend. The Scotland yard worker and her sister xxxx

Fun, happy and friendly - A fun tour to see the sights of London from a different perspective. Booking and boarding was efficient and clear. The staff is very friendly. During the tour you get to see the most iconic sights, like Westminster Parliament and the Tower of London, as well as more off the beaten track the Thames Barrier and the O2. The boat goes slowly to see the sights, then speeds off very fast at the sound of music, which is a lot of fun! Bring a wind jacket and a jumper, as it can get cold, but you won't get wet. Highly recommended!
