High Speed Fun on the Thames

This was a great experience! Ed was an awesome boat tour guide and it was a really great mix of getting some history and having high speed fun on the Thames River. Highly recommend for kids and adults alike.

Great family fun!

We all had a blast. One of the highlights of our weekend in London. My girls, 7 & 8 and Mom & Dad all loved it. The tour guide was Jordon and he was just right - friendly and funny and then let us enjoy the experience. Great views and interesting too but the highlight is the speed and wind in your hair.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

Amazing experience for myself and my 16 year old nephew when we did the Ulimate tour yesterday (2nd October). It was fun, exhilarating, exciting, scary at times when we turned and got so close to the water but a fun scary, not a scary, scary haha! Jay was our guide and did a great job and Charlene was our skipper who can certainly manoeuvre that rib! Really appreciated that on the way back we stopped to see London Bridge lift, as you don't often get to see that. Thames Rockets was one of the best things I have ever done in London and I will 100% do it again. Thank you SO much for a great experience.
