Perfect blast - My son (12 years old) and I just completed our RIB tour. We initially chose the 40-minute ride but upgraded to the 70-minute tour, which was a blast! We passed all the famous sites with great views of the main attractions. Then, it was time for the high-speed ride down to the flood barriers, passing the O2 and Canary Wharf's financial centre. Our guide was fun and the skipper very skilled. The tour was high adrenaline but not too extreme, and my son had a smile ear-to-ear the entire time. Highly recommended!

Great fun, exhilaration & value for money - I have done many trips down the Thames over the years - not only is this a new take on it and a very exhilarating one it also takes in more of the river than other trips by going all the way down to the Thame Barrier and back. Great fun and value for money. Also our host and driver (Leo & George B) were very knowledgeable while putting a funny twist on the usual facts on the sights across London - fantastic
