ASHER & JOHN YOUR VERY OWN JAMES BOND - This is the only way to see London. No crowds, no traffic. As a Londoner who has seen all the sights in London, this has the wow factor. With John and Asher at the helm it was fun and interesting. Oldies loved it and the kids thought it was the best day ever.

Fun Fathers day speedboat trip - Fun & exciting speedboat trip which took us all the way to the Royal Docks past Greenwich & the o2. I booked this boat because we had done a shorter trip on a smaller boat before & I was worried it would rain & thought having a roof would be useful. Staff were helpful & friendly. Great to see how London has changed from the river.

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.

Great experience - Great experience and thrilling. Quite scary at speed bashing on the waves but pleased we had done it afterwards. Shame we couldn't hear the commentary or the James bond music.

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.

Trip cancelled 30 mins before departure - Trip cancelled half an hour before the start. Seems to be a regular occurrence. We were given a refund but doesn’t make up for the wasted time and travel cost across London. Staff seemed annoyed that we wouldn’t just transfer to one of their other boats that they were using that day (not the Beast). Disappointing experience.
