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 !!!

We got bought this as a Virgin Experience Voucher for Christmas and it was very easy to get booked in. We had the BEST time! Sophie & Simon were our guides/skipper and they were fantastic. Sophie was so informative giving us lots of brilliant information and Simon was an excellent skipper! I highly recommend this to anyone - it was so so good!

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.

So much fun. Ed, our tour guide, and Alex, our skipper, were fantastic. Great mix of humour, music, speed and sigh seeing. Would definitely recommend.

Wow this was absolutely brilliant, we are a family with 13 and 11 year old boys and thoroughly enjoyed it. A big shout out to Stacey and Tom for making this so enjoyable, informative and fun. Will definitely visit again in the future.

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.
