A most exciting adrenalin rush.
The experience was well organised by the whole team from start to finish. This was the most exciting adrenalin rush on the Thames Rocket which took us to the Thames Barrier and back.
We had Jo, John and Rocky who were all brilliant guys and they looked after us during the continual rain and cold we had on our chosen day Saturday 22/11.
I intend to go again... thank you.
We booked the Thames rocket as a treat…
We booked the Thames rocket as a treat for my sisters birthday. The whole s per pence was fantastic and we had a wonderful trip. The day was lovely despite being November. There were only six guests on our boat which was really lovely not to be too overcrowded. The staff from check in to the actual cruise were fantastic fun. It was national kindness day they said and we got a lovely gift of refillable cup and whistle from them. They also played happy birthday on the boat to my sister and she was very tickled with this ! It really made it very special. Staff were Ed in check in who is the most wonderful person to check you in, full of fun! The boat driver was Mike and he was great. They played fantastic music to match the speed, and Lotta talked us though the sights and chatted throughout. She was bright and funny, perfect for that job ? Is recommend it to anyone who like high speed boats and fresh air ! Just wonderful and you obviously see a wonderful overview of London via the Thames. It’s a must if you can make it x
Top experience and Top Team
The speed boat experience was an absolute hoot.
Very well organised, easy to book and good communication once we were booked in, both leading up to the event and on the day itself.
Everyone we met from TR were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The 'captain' certainly knew how to give you value for money as he expertly manouvered the boat up and down the Thames at incredible speeds.
Worth every penny and would go again myself.
In addition, I carelessly left behind my sunglasses and didn't realise until I got home.
The whole team got together and did an amazing job at reuniting me with my glasses. I could not be more impressed with everything.
Thank you Team Thames Rockets xx

What a great experience
What a great experience! We have now had two trips on Thames Rockets and it’s an amazing experience!
Value for money, great boats and friendly and professional crew!
Absolutely one of the best things to do in London
Absolutely one of the best things to do in London! Even as a local, this experience blew me away. The trip is the perfect balance of fun, facts and high-speed thrills – utterly exhilarating from start to finish.
Our guides Jack, Ed and Sam were fantastic – so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and helpful. They really made the whole experience even better.
I’ve done most things in London, but Thames Rockets is right up there with the very best. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience, lots of fun and nice to see other parts of london, max tom and bill were fantastic
A fun experience
Myself, son, daughter & Mum took a trip on the Thames Rocket on 30th July. We had a great experience & throughly enjoyed it, Imogen was our tour guide & was so lovely, she was funny, friendly & very knowledgeable.
I would also like to mention the lady at the sales office (think her name may have been Stacey but sorry not 100%). Anyway, unfortunately we missed our 10am slot due to getting lost & when we got to the dock around 10:15, we were told to call the sales office. The lady was very helpful & said there was some space on a few other trips that day & to call back nearer to the times & if still available she could move us. We managed to get spaces on the 3pm & really appreciate all her help in accommodating us.
A overall all fantastic service & trip. Thank you
Rip Off
This is a rip off. We booked two tickets to go on this but the instructions sent us to the wrong pier making us late. When we went to speak with them about this we were told that they'd let one of us sit on standby for an open seat but that if anyone else showed up and paid for a ticket that person would just get bumped from the ride. They were not interested in addressing the fact that they sent us to the wrong place or making this right in any way. Their entire stance was basically that customers are ripping *them* off by getting sent to the wrong pier, showing up late or trying to reschedule. They made it sound like they were just too booked to do anything about this.
We wound up going to the HMS Belfast and on one of the cruises with a day pass that let us go up and down the river for the afternoon. Now imagine my surprise when during the hours we were on the river doing other things their boats kept coming by with one, maybe two passengers. They're essentially raking in tickets for 16 people per trip while honoring less than a quarter of those tickets and issuing absolutely no refunds. Go with another company. Go with another activity. Don't pay all of that money for absolutely nothing.

The best thing we did in London!
Roby gave us a funny informative commentary on the Thames Rocket speed boat while showing London landmarks. AJ was amazing in moving the boat around at high speed and everyone was really happy. What a great experience! This was actually the best experience of all what we did in London!
Excellent!

Had a brilliant experience with my 14 year old daughter, so much more fun than the cruisers. Tom & Max we’re our hosts and we’re great fun.
Brilliant Day Out
Brilliant Day Out! I thought this experience would be good, but it was AMAZING! If you are a thrill seeker it is perfect. Great mix of knowledge and high speed wind in your hair. James our guide was fantastic, and we saw lots of great London sights as well as feeling adreneline. Would come again 100%!
