“We had an absolute blast on the Thames RIB Ride speed boat experience! If you’re looking for a brilliant way to learn about the capital city from a new perspective, this is a great trip.
Our tour guide was so funny and really made the experience, along with some singalong tunes from the boat as we sped up. Great experience for thrill seekers – Emily & Dan (June 2021)
