“Great Rode - Highly Recommended - We were taken out by John and Justin and had a very informative trip first up to the Houses of Parliament and then all the way out to the Thames Barrier. The first part of the ride is at a more sedate pace and the guys tell you a little bit about each landmark. Having lived in London all my life I was told things I did not know - great.” (Reviewed on 2025-04-22)
