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.

Amazing! - James was our guide and John was our boat driver. They were both phenomenal! James was very funny and entertaining. They made this experience even better by taking song requests and playing one of our favorite songs! Highly recommend! Probably one of our most favorite experiences in London!
