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!
