What an awesome experience! My colleague and I took the Tour yesterday evening; Dave our Guide was very knowledgeable and great fun. I couldn’t recommend it enough! Rich.

What a fantastic experience, this was a birthday treat for me, what a treat it was. Thoroughly recommend for any adnenalin junky, but also for any thrill seekers.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. What a blast.

We were well looked after today by the Lovely Geoff and Chris, on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday. We were a hen � party and whilst there was a family of four on board, banter was appropriate and entertaining whilst taking that into account. Great activity and will be definitely recommending to family and friends.

We had a great day yesterday on the Thames Rocket 🚀. Stacey & Scott made it such a laugh, the trip was purchased for my 50th Birthday and all the family had a brilliant time. Bit choppy on the way back but that made it more exciting. The background music gave it a brilliant atmosphere.

Well done all involved, will highly recommend you to friends and family.

This was amazing even with a 7 and 10 year old who also loved it! What an amazing experience for the whole family and the weather didn’t get in the way either!! Loved it! We will be back!! Thank you so much

This is a thrilling experience that I had been so looking forward to and it didn’t fail to disappoint. It was part of my birthday present and I could bring up to 4 people, so I bought my brother and 2 cousins along. The RIB went fast almost immediately after leaving the pier and soon we were all enjoying it to the point of screaming (not me though). The background music was appropriate for the ride and fit in with the adrenaline feel, especially when Bond music was being played!! The company were helpful and informative throughout the experirnce and gave an insight to London’s riverside attractions. Although I personally have seen these sights so many times before (on land) it was nothing I’d experienced in London. I would strongly recommend this activity to everyone visiting the capital.

This is a fantastic experience no matter how old you are. We took this experience for part of our weekend for my sons 16th birthday. Our guide was Stacey who was amazing she really knew her stuff, very informative and fun, she even had our boat guests sing happy birthday to my son. Ian was our boat driver who was also amazing and took the boat to its limits but all very safely. Would highly recommend if you would like to see the sights with some added fun.

Thames Rockets is just that a rocket roller coaster ride up the Thames from the great driver Nick. Also a very engaging tour guide in Geoff who gave me some great facts to impress my son! Thanks to all involved!

My hubby booked this as a surprise birthday treat for me and what a treat it was. It was totally amazing and we are already planning out next ride when my throat has recovered from screaming and laughing so much. Chris the skipper was brilliant a really experienced skipper and Bill the guide well he was totally amazing, so funny really interactive and knowledgeable, he made it an extra special day. Thankyou too all at Thames Rockets we will see you again soon and for making my birthday such a good day. �

My daughter Kara Hopkins booked Thames Rockets for my 50TH Brithday we lovely it had such laugh the weather was hot and crew were so helpful put the photos up on fbook and all family want book up so will be do it again

Love love loved it .. our surprise family trip today with our nine year old son - Geoff was great fun as our tour guide with his fun facts along the way and Phil steering our rocket with great turns a fantastic way of keeping cool and seeing the sights from a different viewpoint thoroughly recommended !! Also loved the choice of tunes on board �

I Booked this as A Special Treat for my French Adventurous Teenage Nephew, His UK Cousin & Grand-Dad... We were amazingly impressed with the Team, the set up, welcome, organization the Welcome Brand Ambassadors, The Safety Briefing upon arrival under The London Eye and Best Rocking #ThamesRockets James Bond Adventure Style White-Water Rafting Stylie complete with Matching Sound-Track Roaring 50 Minutes of your life! A Truly BreathTaking Eoic Instagrammable Memory across 3-Tiers of the Family Generations & Honestly The HighLight of Week of International Sight-Seeing Around London - High Praise from Hard-to-Impress Teenager Parisiens!!!

Five Stars Plus Plus Plus - Highly Recommended! Thanks to All The #ThamesRockets RockStars!!! In The Immortal Words of Carly Simon... "NoBody Does It Better & Baby You're The Best!!!!!"

Huge thank you to Phil & Craig for today's Thames barrier trip! My 6 year old had an absolute blast even if I was slightly scared ;) all in safe hands though! Having Happy birthday sung to me under tower bridge is not something I shall EVER forget � certainly ended my birthday weekend in the capital with an adrenaline fueled smile. We will be back :D

Highly recommend, our crew Stacey & Doug we’re absolutely amazing, what a thrill! I’m still laughing at Stacey’s commentary! Huge thank you to Hannah in bookings for help me with my voucher, amazing customer service, cant wait to do it again!

Great fun! Very relaxed but informative and fun tour/guide of the river! Nick and Geoff were very friendly, made us feel safe and really made the whole thing fantastic! The background music and onboard cocktail was a great touch! Would definitely recommend it and I can’t wait to do it again!

Great day out today upon the break the barrier tour � Joe and Rich weee great tour guides and made us feel right at ease straight away ! They were relaxed , cheerful and informative ! We will def be returning to do the other tours x thanks guys x

Excellent way to see the landmarks of London whilst also having a bit of fun! If you have the adrenaline junkie buzz then take a trip down the Thames with Thames Rockets. The crew are really friendly and put passengers at ease and make the trip fun.

Sit back and enjoy the sights before the roar of the engines take over as you power down the Thames. Also a shout out to Geoff and Phil - you guys were awesome!!

Awesome experience my 8 year old and 5 year old loved it we all did With Bills unique take on the sites and Nick I thinks skilful boat handling really made it a unique adrenaline filled tour or the Thames well worth the money.

Absolutely incredible experience, Geoff was so funny & entertaining, Phil really knew how to get the best and most exhilarating experience from the rib, would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to see London from a different angle or seeking a whole new experience �
