If you only do one thing in London, make it this. Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. My 16 year old son is very hard to please and even he didn't stop smiling throughout the whole trip. Perfect balance of adrenaline fueled adventure paired with a hilarious tour guide. 10 stars.
Amazing 🤩

We enjoyed the slow part, with our fantastic tour guide / narrator, as well as the fast part. Spouse is a little squamish and did not care for the zig-zagging back and forth during the fast part of the trip . However this writer thought it added to the excitement because, after all, 34 miles per hour isn't all THAT fast. Overall this is a great way to see the sights of London from a vantage point most people never get to see (the middle of the Thames), and a thrill ride, all in one. We have been on several similar excursions and we like this one best because of the friendly and expert narration by a congenial chap.
Fantastic

Great tour with some interesting information about the Thames and the buildings along it. Followed by a thrilling fast and fun speed along the river. Laughed and screamed a bit. Brilliant!
Hold on tight to the Rocket!
