What an unforgettable experience - After a fantastic weekend of sightseeing in London we finished it off with the beast down the Thames and I’ve got to say it was one hell of a fantastic way to finish a great weekend.
I can’t recommend this enough.
It was worth every penny and we are coming back to do it again.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something different to do in London, look no further than this book up now.
I’ve told so many people about this.
It was exhilarating and also great for seeing some of the sites from the Thames.
I really wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was.

Super adrenaline rush! - This is the second time we have been on the Thames RIB. This time we took our kids aged 16 and 11. RIB is a real adrenaline rush plus we had choppy water which made it even more hairy raising. The staff were good fun too. The fastest on the Thames and the best. My boys wants to go back soon!

Fast and fun! - Really Fast and fun experience - thoroughly enjoyed it. We went under Tower Bridge, past shard, o2 arena, under the cable cars, greenwich & cutty sark, canary wharf to the Thames barrier. On the beast trip and some sort of recorded commentary about animals being kept and escaping at the start but couldn't really hear it and found the animal noises just irritating but it was very brief and then we sped up and the music started and had a blast!

Good but no music or commentary - Good experience overall but no music during the entire trip and no commentary. It was advertised as having both so was surprised that we were not informed beforehand, that the trip would be silent. In addition, it finished in under 40 mins (I checked my phone!)

Birthday treat for grandchildren - Took grandchildren. Birthday treat and they absolutely loved it and so did Nanny would definitely recommend.
Very lucky with the weather really sunny wouldn't be very nice on a rainy day but that's the chance you take. It was definitely long enough . Just like a roller coast ride but on water.
