The best family activity in London! My 3 young sons will remember this forever. Great way to see the city and have fun at the same time

A fantastic experience,one of the best London sightseeing trips we've been on. Great guide, amazing fun highly recommend it.

Mitchell S

I was pleasantly surprised, I was skeptical at first as to what I should expect from the experience. However after going on the trip I would highly recommend it to all, especially those with a family. Firstly I would like to thank him for reassuring my youngest son that he would be entirely safe from the falling into the Thames and also that he would thoroughly enjoy his time on board. Secondly his guiding was both informative and enjoyable (I expected a boring history lesson which was not the case). I left with an abundance of new knowledge on landmarks and even the city I’ve lived in my entire life that I had never known before. Thank you to both Billy and George - driver

Absolutely fantastic! Kane was very knowledgeable and we learnt a great deal. John was an excellent driver and they both made the experience great fun. Definitely not recommended if you get travel or sea sick!

The booking process was a little messy - too much ifs and buts depending on the number of bookings etc. That said, it was a great experience - far exceeded expectations and Asha and Captain George were wonderful! Well done and thanks guys. You won’t be disappointed- book, book, book! Memorable experience!
