Thames Rockets Reviews 167

I recommend every speed freak tries this! But even if not your thing the information of landmarks on the Thames were superb! A great treat for any special occasion or just a day out in London.

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Well organised and boat left on time. Provided with a nice warm coat as it was raining. Good informative talk for first part and exhilarating ride later on. Guide made every effort to speak to everyone on the trip . Wouldn't hesitate to book again and its an amazing way to see some of the sights.

I have recently taken a trip on the Thames with Thames Rocket. When I made the booking the booking clerk was vey helpful and friendly and made the process very easy. On arrival at the Thames, the receptionist was again very friendly and helpful. All the instructions given were very clear and accurate. On boarding the craft, which was on schedule, our guide gave us a very warm welcome and made sure we were going to enjoy ourselves. The skipper handled the craft with great skill. There were plenty of thrills and not once did we feel unsafe. All in all it was a great experience and I would certainly do it again. Thanks Thames Rocket for making it a very memorable trip

I can honestly say that Thames Rockets (any of their trips) is the best fun you’ll have in London! Recently did Break the Barrier with colleagues on a charter trip. Nick and Bill, our crew, looked after us well, made us laugh and took us at full speed down the river to the Barrier!
Brilliant fun - would highly recommend them!!

The best tourist attraction we experienced in London this Summer break away. Thank you so much for the fantastic time rocketing up and down the River Thames today. Thoroughly enjoyed it with my two teenage sons Sean and Alex. Greg the guide was amazing giving us great information and laughter (banter). Doug the driver made us enjoy a variety of speeds and the turns were awesome fun. Loved it!!! Had an absolute belter of a time. My boys would like to add their bit by saying “Greg and Doug are Sound as!”
Much thanks for the experience, and we will definitely recommend the Thames Rockets to Friends and Family.

Kind Regards

Had a really great trip together with my son and grand daughter! Will certainly recommend it to others. Our guide was very good and had interesting information about the various sights we passed. All in all it was worth it👍

Without a doubt the best thing to do in London. I have been on a few times with various different people (including my 70 year old nan who loved it!) in good and bad weather and each time it's been amazing. I not only loved the speed and exhilarating ride but the guides are brilliant, very funny! Will definitely go again at some stage.

A total blast! I was looking for a fast and fun way to show my husband and 9-year-old goddaughter the sights of London (it was their first trip to London) and 'The Ultimate London Adventure' was the perfect solution.

Our guide Stacey was fab. She gave us the perfect balance of comedy vs history. So you get a little bit of education along with speedy thrills.

These guys are clearly the best in the biz and you can tell they absolutely love what they do. Would recommend to both seasoned Londoners AND tourists. Highly recommended.

Great trip on Monday 3rd June (ultimate London experience). Matt the guide was brilliant as were the other staff on board. We had a super 50 minutes and was well worth the money. We will definitely have another trip next time we visit London.

This is the only tourist-y thing I recommend to all my visitors - it's absolutely brilliant. The guides are fantastic - genuinely keen to make sure you have fun - & they provide interesting facts about the city & its history as well (love the music too!) Excellent & clear communication with the company throughout. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We had so much fun on the Thames Rocket! All the staff were friendly and funny too!! The boat trip was interesting and so much fun. It's a very different take on a tour of the London riverside but such a treat! Would highly recommend and I can't wait to go again!!

Had a brilliant day in London, went on this trip with my son who at 14 is not easy to please. He absolutely loved it, win for me.

Had a fantastic trip down the river Thames... Thames Rockets was recommended by a friend. I was told it was a must whilst in London and I am so glad I had booked it as a surprise for my family. Staff were friendly our Guide was especially funny and welcoming. Will now be recommending to all my friends and family.

Such a good trip!!! Really friendly and funny staff. Brilliant experience, would highly recommend.

Avoid at all costs!!! Travelled to London for weekend adventure for my sons 17th birthday! Booked with Thames rockets at his request. Waited at St Katherine’s pier as directed by email and allotted time came and went with no sign of boat although several passed by on opposite side of the river! Contacted provider to find that tour had been cancelled due to breakdown 20 mins earlier and Thames rockets would be in touch! We had already paid £20 to get to pier from our hotel and were now abandoned as they refused to reimburse us for a taxi to take us back to our hotel. The provider had attempted to contact us by our landline in Swansea which was as useful as a chocolate fire guard! Even though Thames Rocket offices are only a few hundred metres away from the pier they did not send anyone to let us now it had been cancelled. They offered us another trip later that day but would not pay for the return taxi journey so now £40 out of pocket and no boat tour to speak of!!! We declined the later tour as other plans were already booked and we now have to wait to see if a refund is forthcoming! This is the second time we have booked with Thames Rockets and the second time disappointed by the poor Service received. This has not been a happy customer experience and dealt with by Thames Rocket in a very unprofessional manner. Book with someone else if you’re planning a Thames tour as time is often tight on weekends in London and to avoid disappointment and wasting your time and money.

Rosie and Richard gave us an exceptional experience, The trip was exciting, fun, informative and one we will be repeating. Couldn't recommend it highly enough and we are telling all our friends to do it.

Hands down the best experience in London. First class service, fab location and brilliant experience. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant experience- I had my whole family onboard for my Birthday! All the staff from the bookings team to the crew onboard went above and beyond! The trip was much fun!!! I would recommend it to everyone!

I was treated on my “Special” birthday to a trip zooming down to the Thames Barrier at dusk. It was the best hour of my day. Views were amazing with lights coming on in buildings and on the bridges, beautiful scenery all the way. This added to the great themed music made it a fantastic experience that I will remember forever. Matt, the guide was friendly, entertaining and informative. It felt very safe despite the speed and turns and the weatherproof coats kept us warm & dry. I haven’t stopped boasting to everyone what a great time I had.

Had the best day ever in London. Thank you Thames 🚀 x
