Fabulous experience well worth every penny. - A super trip bought for my teenage daughter and her boyfriend as a birthday present. They were old enough to go unaccompanied and had a fabulous time. Our slot was moved 40mins earlier than originally booked but the communication was excellent and the change made two days before so that we were able to adjust our timings. All staff were lovely. Weather was perfect too! Thank you.

A real blast! - This was a real highlight for our city break in London. Everyone had a blast and the crew were really helpful as I had a broken arm so was a bit tentative. Thanks to John and Dennis for a brilliant experience.

Treat to myself - Great speed, very bumpy, good music. Prefer the normal rib boat ride. Had fun speeding along the thames. Would definitely do it again though

Fab experience - The kids loved it. They say just need the bond theme louder! Nice to see the landmarks from a different angle. Weather is as perfect, so even the adults enjoyed the ride.

Fun for all the family - In the words of my grandson “Great experience and I’ve never smiled so hard for this long!” also “being splashed by the water was so cool!” the staff were top notch and the high speed turns were so fun. We’d recommend it highly for all who love a thrill filled ride along the river.
