Amazing Experience from the new Westminster Pier - ‘Amazing Experience by a Amazing Team’. We took the 10am Rib experience from their newly opened ‘Westminster Pier’. The team were very professional and although we have done the experience before, the 18 year olds and their Mom with us, hadn’t 😀. The team in the ‘Pier office’ were great, a special mention to Megan and Denis, they made the experience spectacular from the outset. They explained the safety brief and what to expect. Then it was off on the ‘Rib’. George and Scott are obviously experienced and made the trip very memorable. We saw a number of London landmarks and we were informed of the history of each, then it’s was off on the ‘high speed’ part. Amazing time and will certainly be doing the same again. A very BIG Thankyou all.

Great fun and a different way to see London! - We are a family of four including two boys who are 15 and 12 years old. We've done this ride a couple of years ago and the boys (and we) loved it. So we had to do it again and it was again a fun experience. It's easy to book on their website, staff are helpful and professional and the ride itself is great fun. Its a great way to see the city as the river runs through all the best bits. Highly recommend ir!

Actioned-packed adrenaline trip along the Thames - This is our second time on the Ultimate Tower Blast, for us, it's on the top ten list of things to do in London. It is an action-packed adrenaline journey along the Thames taking in many iconic London locations.

Unique and exhilarating… - The crew, George and Georgie, gave us a totally thrilling ride up the Thames from the Tower of London and right up to and through the Thames Barrier. A breath-taking and unique experience for adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers. You will see parts of London only viewable on the river. No effort is required on your part- just sit back and enjoy! They even played Happy Birthday to a passenger to make it an extra special experience. Highly recommended.

I couldn't stop laughing - This was a joint treat for my 52nd and my son's 22nd, and it was a blast! We had a warm welcome at the desk checking-in, and a quick safety briefing. Getting on the boat was easy, and then the fun began! Slow for a very short period of time, and then we were off. Speeding past London landmarks with turns and music blasting. I couldn't stop laughing and whooping. The best time I've had since last summer. The skippers were knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't get wet. Wear lots of layers, neck muffs, hats and gloves...it got cold! Best £50 I've spent in a long time, we will be back.

This trip delivers... - This trip delivers, exactly as advertised. You don't get wet (unless its raining, and even then they supply disposable ponchos), and it is indeed a thrilling ride. Nuff said.
