Our group ages spanned 5yrs - 82 yrs and everyone had a blast - A great addition to a 50th birthday celebration. Our group ages spanned 5yrs - 82 yrs and everyone had a blast. Great to see so many iconic buildings followed by big smiles and screams of laughter as we sped and twisted our way up to The O2 and back.

Awesome rib ride! Fantastic staff! - Absolutely loved this experience! 100% recommended 👌 Staff are awesome, friendly and helpful. The day we went it was unfortunately raining, but we still had a fantastic time. Laughed the whole ride. Includes some commentary, banter and music throughout. They even got the whole boat singing Happy Birthday to me!! 11/10 for sure. Thanks Rob and Barry.... you made our day!

Biggest scammers - We were 5 min late because of train station closure. They were not willing to board us because we were 5 min late . No refund or re book issued. Refused to talk to us you have to ring office. But they were nice to the customers after us . Because we are Asian and they were white. The kids were so heart broken. The skipper could have been a bit more sympathetic and was not even willing to talk to us. The lady on the phone was even worse 5 mins is hardly a time to refuse us entry. At a time when people are struggling to make ends meet. We were trying to entertain our kids and this has left us with a sour experience. Very disappointing
