what an incredible experience

what an incredible experience . We were early for our boat trip but all the staff based on land were great just chatting to us . very informative about our experience & all safety aspects clearly explained . Once on the boat our hosts Chris & Ross were brilliant at their specific jobs . Ross was funny & informative and made us feel comfortable . Once past tower bridge Chris opened the boat up weaving side to side at speed , it was brilliant .I have been on many boat trips both in this country & abroad but this by far was the best experience I have ever had on a boat . I will be a returning customer .Well done to the staff

Thank you Ben and Phil and Thames Rockets!

My Sister and I took our parents to the Thames Rockets Speedboat experience where we had Ben and Phil as our Tour Guide / Driver. They were fun and enthusiastic during the whole experience, and provided an excellent quality guide of London from start to finish.

My family are big thrill seekers and are quite the adrenaline junkies and this speedboat delivered just what we expected and more!

It was also a great way to see London's famous sights without the hustle and bustle on the streets.

There was a family who complained on the speed, however I thought that this complaint was unfair and unnecessary seeing that this is a 'SPEED'boat experience.

I would HIGHLY recommend and most defiantly be back again.

Thank you for a great Experience, Ben , Phil and the Rocket Thames team.

Great day today

Great day today with Joe, Phil and Ben.
Joe was very helpful putting on our life jackets and being a smiling face to greet everyone.
Ben was very knowledgable and made us all laugh numerous times, a natural tour guide.
Phil a very talented driver who allowed us to have a fun ride.

We had fun, learned something new but above all, safety was paramount and encouraged throughout.

Thanks guys! Defiantly recommend.

First time visiting London and with my…

First time visiting London and with my two teenage sons. We did pretty much all the London attractions, but if you ask any of us, the Thames Rocket was the absolute highlight.

The crew on the pier were friendly, engaging and we departed bang on time. Geoff the guide and Simon the driver were great whilst onboard. Geoff was really friendly, got everyone on the boat involved whilst we made our way down the river. Big thanks for the Happy Birthday sing-a-long, I loved it! Then Simon engaged the engines and we were off!! Flying at speed with the Baywatch theme tune pumping out - what an utter blast. The grins on the kid's faces were nearly as big as mine.

This is a MUST do activity for anyone visiting London.

Absolutely Brilliant … Loved it!!

Absolutely brilliant. Every aspect from booking to an after email was excellent. We unfortunately missed our 2pm slot so fortunately they had 4 seats on the 5:30 tour which they offered us on the same day. Life jackets, safety talk are given and if you need one a warm water proof jacket are offered. You only get wet if it’s raining. A ride for all ages. Our 5:30 ride was adults only with a free cocktail drink which was a nice touch. No refunds on the day which was completely fair and understandable. The ride itself was the best experience, from before boarding to getting off. The music, commentating and of course the speed and skill of the driver was amazing. It was my birthday and got sang Happy Birthday to under tower bridge…. Priceless, one very happy girl. Loved, loved, loved it. Thank you 😊

Brilliant for teenagers

Our teenagers had a blast! "That was SO much better than a museum!" they said, which is high praise from our too-cool kids. We zoomed around at high speed, enjoyed pumping music, lots of jokes and trivia. The crew were cool, funny and laid-back. We had a great laugh. The grown-ups loved it too. I highly recommend this to groups with older kids/teens/20-somethings who might find other tours a bit snoozy. It was definitely the big highlight of our week in London.

1st Class Trip

Had an absolutely amazingly fantastic time on the Thames Rockets. It was definitely the best trip I have ever done in London. It was totally exhilarating and made me smile for the whole 50 minutes. Well worth the money and I would definitely do it again. Big up to Ross And Brad who were excellent throughout the trip. Ross was very entertaining and a joy to listen to. Brad was superb and I felt totally safe throughout my time on the boat. We will be back. Thank you.

What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience, couldn't fault anything. Bill and Brad were amazing, making the experience even more fun and memorable. We had a 10am slot on a Sunday so all was very calm and quiet, I wondered if it might be too much for my 5 year old but he loved it and wanted to do it again. Excellent value for money.

Absolutely fantastic

Booked this for our son's 21st. Oh wow, it was fantastic. Right from the professional and friendly chap greeting us checking us onto the boat to the captain of the ship to the host. Ross our guide was funny and informative and Roddy the captain made the journey spectacularly fun. We grinned all the way, perfect soundtrack and a few screams too. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you guys.

60th Birthday…

My friend and I had a 60th Birthday gift and were really looking forward to this trip. However, it was even more exhilarating and fabulous than we expected! The Pilot Richard and guide Ross were both enthusiastic, skilled and entertaining. Especially once past Tower Bridge, it was fantastic and definitely one to recommend.
