River Thames High-Speed Cruise

London, United Kingdom

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Then this high-speed Thames river RIB experience cruise tour is tailor made for you! London will truly come alive and kicking with the fastest, most exciting River Thames cruise you could ever experience.

The super-powered Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIB's) are specially designed to operate on the River Thames. One minute you're cruising gently under Tower Bridge, the next you are racing out towards the Thames Barrier at a rate of 50 knots on a speed boat.

This fantastic interactive guided tour takes in London's top sights and gives fascinating insight into their history. With a modern sound system on board you'll be sure to hear your guide's entertaining and informative commentary even at high speed.

Choose between the 50-minute Canary Wharf Experience and the 80-minute Thames Barrier Experience. Take the Canary Wharf Experience to see the famous sights of the Houses of Parliament, HMS Belfast, Tower of London and Execution Dock.

Or opt for the Thames Barrier Experience and in addition enjoy beautiful views of Greenwich and the incredible Thames Barrier, the world's second largest movable flood barrier. You will also be sped around the O2 Arena, filming location of the James Bond movie The World is Not Enough whilst listening to the movie soundtrack.

Group sizes are restricted to 12 passengers on both tours, ensuring a personal and fun experience. London's number one action activity is not to be missed!

We had the best time on this boat trip! We went for my husband's birthday and we were not disappointed. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go fast on the Thames. We are planning to go again this summer when the weather is warmer.

Great fun and good value for money. A perfect gift for a partner or group of friends. Would highly recommend this trip.

good adrelaline rush but don't do it to see the sights as you can't see much thru the spray and rain hood.

Bad jokes and a fast boat, this is fun to do, covers a lot of London, and basically you are on a better ride than any of the ferries. They swerve and make it fun for young ones, but if you are only adults you may not care that you should really be waterskiing from the back.

By far one of the best things we did. Highly recommend this ride.

This was a great way to see London from the water. While most river tours are slow and relaxing, we enjoyed the sights and then had some serious fun. A must for the Adrenaline junky!

We all thought that this trip was amazing. It was so much faster and better than we had thought it would be (and we thought it would be good!). The guide was really helpful, friendly, informative and entertaining. The staff seemed to care about each traveller and not just see them as the next person to deal with. The one down side was that we all got very chilly, but it was the end of October. Next time I would wrap up warmer. The official photograph taken by the company was reasonably priced and also sent to us by email after we had made just one payment. The photo itself was high quality and we were really pleased with it. I would highly recommend this trip as a fun, adrenaline-fuelled experience offering value for money, excellent local information and sight-seeing. It is well worth doing and I am already working out how and when to go again... :-)

Great experience, but a shame you dont do later departure times. 80 minutes was a bit too long, but had to do that duration as that was the option available at 4.30pm. Really good event though.

We hosted a boat for clients on this event and they had a fabulous time. My only disappointment was that i want photos of the event and they supplied only one image for all people which was boring and a bit crap to be honest.

Pros Tons of fun! Really fast, a great way to see London! Cons not that convenient having to re-confirm on the day of

Review by: Erin L, United States of America	June 2010
This was by far my favourite London tour - and it's great for people who want something fast and furious. The boat is quick but very secure and the guide was excellent at pointing out the major sites, introducing interesting facts and cracking witty jokes!

Review by: Tim L, United Kingdom	June 2010
Definitely an experience to blow away the cobwebs! The cruise offers superb views of the River Thames and it is well worth going all the way down to the Thames Barrier so you get a great overview of London. Was particularly satisfying speeding past some of the older boats chugging along!
