Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best ways to see London! I booked this as a 40th birthday present for husband and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. When we return to London we will definitely be rebooking & big thanks to Edward our tour guide who knew lots of info about the landmarks and thanks to John the skipper who was brilliant!

Awesome Thames ride. Great fun. I was little nervous at the start but soon relaxed as Jack/Tom were fab hosts. 45 mns went really quickly.

John and Joey were incredible hosts. John's driving was spot on and Joey was a wealth of London knowledge. I would do this over and over again!

Amazing boat John and Joey did a great job showing us around London! My friend was celebrating her divorce and Joe did a great job accommodating us on our unconventional experience. He even chased us down to give us sodas after our ride! Totally recommend for friends, family, and even divorcés.

Jeff made the experience great as it was raining and cold keeping it enjoyable for all. Tom was the driver this man has some great skill with the Thames being choppy my 7 year old girl absolutely loved it. Still could not believe one little boy fell asleep. We will be going again in the summer. Vince

We loved our trip on Thames Rockets. Geoff the guide was very funny, but don't expect a tourist guide through the sites of london, it's just an exhilarating, scary, fun ride that's much more like being on a fairground ride than a tourist boat. We all loved it.

Thanks to Geoff (with a G) for making this a memorable and enjoyable speed adventure up the Thames!
Despite the (very) wet weather, Geoff engaged with us all, and even got everyone singing happy birthday to my stepson who was on the ride for his 16th. This was rather unexpected and slightly embarrassing for him, but very enjoyable as a parent to see him cringe 😂😂.
Whilst the rain hitting your face at 40 odd mph is not one I'm keen to repeat, I'd happily go back every day if I could afford it! You just can't beat the thrill of the speed, twists and bouncing on the river. Thank you Thames Rockets 🚀

What a ride!!! Family and I went at the weekend on the Ultimate London Adventure to celebrate an 18th birthday. Had an amazing time with skipper Jeff and driver(?) Tom.
Jeff was truly hilarious, which made the sightseeing element of the trip so much fun. Then Tom put his foot down and we had the most adrenaline fuelled fun I can ever imagine!!
Can’t wait to come back. This is the number 1 experience in London IMO.
