We had a brilliant time, our guide Tom was excellent - very entertaining and informative. The whole experience was really, really good. We booked it as a treat for my Mum & Dad who both thought it was brilliant, even better as my Mum hates boats and my Dad is nearly 70. Would highly recommend this and is well worth... More

We bought this trip for my son and nephews aged 10-12 as birthday treats; it was a shame they had to drag a couple of adults along too. I was really impressed by everything about this company, from the office staff who take the bookings, to the team who kitted us up for the trip and the crew themselves. Stacey... More

Fantastic experience. 50% Education & 50% Exhilaration was the intro from Steve "AKA Shirley Bassey". We kicked off with the fun stuff and what a blast and then enlightened by the educational bits, which Steve was immensely funny and along with the speed thrill, he made the trip. Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to see London from a different perspective.... More

And I've lived here for 30 years. WHAT a brilliant experience. Ginger Mike and Tom gave us a trip of a lifetime - in just one hour. Fabulous to see London from the river. As for the ride - well we screamed with laughter for most of it. Ginger Mike taught us heaps of fascinating historical facts about our city... More

Starts at a reasonable pace and great to see attractions from the water. Once past Tower Bridge the rib goes at full throttle with appropriate music - won't say any more to spoil it - twists and turns galore. Just great fun.

The Pirate Boat Ride was AWESOME, EPIC & YABBA DABBA DOO - according to the eight boys we took along for our sons 7th Birthday Party. The four adults enjoyed it equally! Captain Geoff was fabulous - we all loved her and she/he(!) was absolutely fantastic with the children. It was brilliant. Fast, funny and and an experience that we'll... More

After being let down by a similar boat trip across the river at Embankment (literally hours before we were due to travel with them) my husband found these guys under the London Eye. To the rescue, they opened a departure to accommodate our booking as they obviously heard the shear panic in our voice that we had nothing to do... More
