The team of John, Kane and the crew were brilliant and helped us with ease to book and board….we had an amazing experience and the kids loved every minute of it….Thanks again for all your help

I have done many trips down the Thames over the years - not only is this a new take on it and a very exhilarating one it also takes in more of the river than other trips by going all the way down to the Thame Barrier and back. Great fun and value for money. Also our host and driver (Leo & George B) were very knowledgeable while putting a funny twist on the usual facts on the sights across London - fantastic

This was our second time, for my mum and sisters birthday. It's such a fun thing to do. We had a lovely welcome at the dock, George gave a great commentry on lots London sites alongbthe Thames ...before John put the RIB speed into action!!! The music was really good too. Well worth it, you won't forget it. The pictures you can get at the end are a real keepsake too. THANK YOU team for not cancelling even though it was heavy rain, the rain macks provided helped and we didn't let it spoil the experience. We will definitely be back for a more!

This was a superb birthday treat for my 11 year old daughter and her friends. The location is breathtaking and you see all of the main sights. The staff were extremely courteous and friendly and I felt we were very well taken care of. An excellent experience. We were lucky as The Thames Beast boat has a roof, so that is handy if the weather is rainy
