Fun, exhilarating and highly entertaining, with lots of funny and unusual facts about London mixed in with the tour. Bill and Tom were great fun and made a memorable treat for my daughter's birthday.

We love London overall, but the Thames Rockets was another level of experience. Joie and Alex built an amazing vibe, great walkthrough the interesting places, cool music, high speed and despite the rain we had the best time. Worth all the money and I am looking forward to do it again!

This was our fifth time on the Thames Rockets and we had an absolute blast. This is our favourite activity to do with friends and family when they visit us in London. The staff are friendly and make the trip really fun. Thank you Alex and Bill for a great ride yesterday. The high speeds are thrilling, the guides fun facts about the London landmarks lining the river are fantastic. By far the most fun way to see the city sights. It was rainy day, but the crew had warm coats and wet weather gear for all of us and we were lucky that the sun came out just as we were setting off. Rain or shine, this is great fun.

What a delightful morning! The ride and experience were indeed a pleasant surprise. With only one day in London, I aimed to see as much as possible. The tour guide was concise, humorous, and engaging. The mix of music and the boat's brisk pace was thrilling. The weather was perfect, and I would suggest this to anyone wanting to sightsee with limited time! A big thank you to the Thames Rocket team for kick-starting my high-speed, epic day in London.

Took my mother in law on this speedboat tour as shes always wanted try it. She's 88 !! Have to say the staff were superb with her ( she never fell in !! ) . Our guide was excellent ! (Sorry cant remember your name) His knowledge of the river was great and passed on facts about various buildings that i didn't know and i've worked in London for 40 + years. The actual speed doesn't start till the other side of Tower bridge but when it goes ..it goes !! We were lucky as the weather was glorious so our city looked amazing..As a tourist i'm sure it would have blown them away. All in all a fantastic experience and a big up for Thames Rockets . We shall come again when shes 90 !!!

Could not recommend this more. If you're looking for a thrill seeking experience with a handful of interesting and quirky facts about London thrown in for good measure, then look no further than Thames Rockets. Attended this with my partner and two stepsons and we all loved it, and it's no easy task finding an activity that we all enjoy in equal measure...! Furthermore, our host Max, tour guide Sophie and chipper skipper Tom (aka the faces that launched a thousand speedboats) were good humoured, knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. Get booking!

From the initial booking on the phone with Gemma to the final cruise back to the London Eye with interesting facts & history, what a great experience. In London with teenagers and have done most of the usual sites & museums before, so wanted to do something different. Called the office to see if we could get on a high-speed boat trip & and luckily, they had space at 5pm that day. All booked over the phone easily and details sent through for boarding right next to the London Eye, so easy to find and get to. Max was at the boarding gate, a friendly face to welcome us and show us the safety elements of the life jackets and boarding process. We then waited a few minutes for our boat to decamp the previous trip and we were welcomed by Ed our guide & Alex the driver. Ed explained the experience we were going to have and assured us that if anyone wasn't comfortable with anything or had any questions, just ask. The speed was pretty amazing, didn't realise how good that was going to be, and the teens loved it! After turning round at the city and heading back with more twists and turns, we then had some interesting tour guiding from Ed. The whole family really engaged and enjoyed the boat trip, definitely recommend to anyone visiting London. Great way to see along the river and have an adrenaline rush! Thanks Team Thames Rockets, we will be back to do another trip next time.

I have previously rated this trip 5 stars but found this one even better. Jack was our guide, he was very friendly and informative. Our driver was also fantastic, giving us plenty of high speed thrills. It was my 7 year old Grandaughters first time and she absolutely loved it. We will be back.

I took my granddaughter on the ultimate ride. Ed our guide was very informative and funny. The second part if the ride was exhilarating my granddaughter gave it a big thumbs up

We had a great time! Max and Phil were great hosts and we were kept informed and amused throughout. My kids 8&11 didn’t know what to expect but came off bouncing at the end. A great way to see the city from a different perspective. Would highly recommend!

Things got to a bad start when a rail strike was due to take place on our original date. The office were exceptionally helpful and efficient and managed to change the date and also of the London Eye which we had booked too. When we arrived in what was a little chilly weather; we were offered coats to wear on top of our own ones. This was needed as when we were on the trip it did become rather cold. An excellent idea to do this. The staff at the dock were superb and captain and crew of the boat excellent. The trip itself was thrilling and we didn't get particularly wet either. Very highly recommended and I hope to do it all again.
