Faster than you think - Really enjoyable tooling down the Thames at what feels like a ridiculous speed! My little one wanted to go again immediately! Thanks to everyone, land crew were very helpful, and George and Max on the boat were great. We will be back!

Highlight of a day out in London - Would highly recommend this for both adults, teens and children. My wife, niece, nephew and I loved the 20 minute Rib Blast experience yesterday. George, the captain, had us in the edge of our seats (figuratively and literally) whilst Max had us all entertained. Great addition to any trip to London, offering a good contrast to other tours or more ‘static’ tourist spots.

The best experience with two young children - Absolutely incredible experience, lovely staff We have a 4 year old and 5 year old and even they enjoyed it! It was fast, so maybe not great if you're little ones aren't a fan of speed/water, but ours said it was the best thing they've ever done! Highly recommend and would 100% do it again

Great time - Took my 7 year old grandson on a ride and he went completely bananas. There were only two others on the boat besides the crew so there was plenty of room for us to all have our own seat. It was a great way to see London, zipping along listening to the James Bond theme. Very good time and built memories that will last a lifetime.

Not your Grandma’s River Tour - My 2 teens had zero interest in the typical tours of London. They loved this excursion and was a highlight of our trip. Thank you for a memorable day on the river!
