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!

Fun filled thrill experience!!! - It was an amazing trip. The guide Geoff was great fun as was Bill who drove the boat. My husband and I had lots of laughs and saw some lovely views of London. The high speed boat part was really thrilling. Would definitely go back.

Great fun ride even for a Londoner! - I booked the sunset speed boat experience for my husband’s birthday. It was fantastic. The trip combined slow sections (due to speed limit on the Thames) along famous sites by the river with a thrilling speedy ride after we passed Tower bridge. Great music and free drinks. The best thing was our guide Simon. He could be a comedian! His humour and enthusiasm made sure everyone has a wonderful time!

Perfect one hour fun/history combo - Our multi-generational family group, including teens, loved the ride with Rocky and Bill. For us the one hour trip was the perfect combination of a bit of history/highlights followed by high speed boating with sharp turns and excitement. Would definitely recommend for other groups!
