Fifty minutes of fun, we didn't stop smiling.
Great fun leaves you wanting more
Really enjoyable fun-filled and educational 50 minute thrill ride up and down part of the River Thames with friendly helpful staff. Would thoroughly recommend and good value for money...…..and the jacket and trousers keep you dry as we had a 10 minute downpour at the end of the trip!
Amazing from start to finish. By far the most fun way of seeing London.
Loved it ! It was amazing
Brilliant day out on the Thames !
★★★★

Absolutely amazing experience! Brill for sightseeing and some good photos! When driver get a bit foot happy, foot down sppeeeed wow, amazing but be prepared to get a bit wet!! Defo recommend, we will be back!
The trip was great fun and the staff were brilliant.
Fab people friendly needs to go further and faster information about history given while on ride very good
Excellent journey thank you
A very enjoyable day out .
Great fun. Not having the most reliable weather for end May / June but managed to pick a dry afternoon. Gets windy when the boat is fast so wrap up
Great fun wish it lasted longer
Promenade sur la Tamise très intéressante et ludique
very good, enjoyed it immensely
Good commentary, 9 year old was kept interested and then the fun began!
★★
Not thrilling enough. Does not deliver
The gentleman that met us was great. He was enthusiastic and set the experience off in a fantastic way. He even helping my daughter who is diabetic find a toilet as the public one was closed. Sadly his colleagues then told him off for this in front of us making us feel very uncomfortable. He was showing humanity and offering excellent customer service so why he was severely reprimanded I don't know. The trip itself was good. Throughout, an audio track s played offering a combination of music and information. For half the trip the speakers weren't working at the front of the boat so you couldn't hear it just an annoying background noise.
Very good experience overall
Online purchase is convenient
Great fun and informative
Had an amazing time, really loved it. The staff were very helpful, informative, friendly and great at doing their jobs. Will definitely do it again
Nice and easy to follow commentary. Music not to my taste Great skipper
Great fun. Really professional service
Great ride and good staff!!
We were 5 to make the experience : it was awesome ! Really great !
50 minutes of fun. Whilst going slowly there was a commentary about the local landmarks which was interesting and then once clear of Tower Bridge , they opened up the throttle and then it was just loads of fun!!
Excellent fun. Brilliant and helpful staff.
Excellent fun and a brilliant experience
Fun experience - with some great facts too
Had a brilliant time on the Thames speeding in the water and site seeing. Would highly recommend anybody to go on this experience.
brilliant experience would do it again
Great fun music thrills vv
The staff on the day were very professional and very informative.
Fun trip but not as fast as we had expected, maybe because we were the only two people on board and my thrill-seeking Mum is 80 years old!!
Excellent service! Great trip!
Great experience , I would highly recommend
Lovely people and a great experience!
Great fun for all the family
The staff gave us water proof and very warm jackets to wear, a lift jacket and full and detailed safety instructions. They were pleasant, professional and informative but also keen that we enjoy the experience. Everything was great from the cockney accented commentary to the thrills and spills when we were able to speed up. Definitely recommend this trip.
Great indroduction and thankful for the waterproof clothing. Boat was clean and looked good. Man helped me on to the boat. Wonderful commentator telling us about the history. I love being on the water good , Enjoyed when we went fast. Would go again
Good customer service both over the phone and in person
Needs more action to get top score from me
If you have not tried this yet give it a go, its great.
The crew were very safety conscious and reassuring .A really great experience .
Fantastic from start to finish!! My son loved his thames jet experience surprise on his birthday
Highly recommend on a visit to the capital
Loved wizzing around the Thames at speed
Commentary was interesting - speed after Tower Bridge thrilling. Even my teenage boys couldn’t help smiling along with cheesy music
Delivers what it promises.
So great the bumps and weaving! The weather was great too which was a bonus! Wish we could go 40mph for the whole journey throughly recommended
Great fun for adults and easily bored children
A different, fun thing to do while in the capital. We didn’t stop smiling!
Absolutely brilliant and would recommend to all we had such a good day and would do it all again :)
This was given to me as a present & I didn't really know what to expect from the 'boat trip'. It was so much better than I expected - very exciting & exhilarating, speeding up the Thames with music thumping from speakers by my ears! Would def recommend, it was a fantastic present!
Fab experience although the staff on the boat barely acknowledged us even though we were the only ones on there! We also felt they were missing a trick by not having a camera onboard to take action shots when the boat was going fast as we would have loved a picture of our kids faces and would gladly have paid for this!
Great Fun and Thrill seeking
Great time had ..staff very friendly
Great value for money, very enjoyable.
Fun trip on the thames all staff friendly and helpful.
Fun all round, lovely staff
We arrived at the departure point and were greeted by a friendly lady who explained all the details we needed to know. It turned out we were the only passengers! I had thought we would be on a jet boat - which we have enjoyed in the past in New Zealand. But the trip was still very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our selves.
Wish it was longer as it finished really as l got into the experience
Good day out and great fun....
Very informative and enjoyable experience
Brilliant experience as part of a day out.
FANTASTIC THRIILLING RIDE. MY SECOND VISIT TO THIS EVENT AND CERTAINLY WONT BE MY LAST.
Good choice for all ages - as long as you're tall enough of course. Just be aware that even though the Thames may be as flat as a millpond, just one freak "wave" and you can be very wet - put it this way, we had an unscheduled trip to M&S for new jeans and underwear before we could go out to dinner!!! Take advantage of the waterproof trousers, not just the jacket!
Fun filled experience which started off brilliantly with the warm welcome from Phillipe. I thoroughly recommend this as a fun way to see the city from a different perspective
Exellent way to spend an hour in London
Amazing! We really enjoyed it!
The Thamesjet people are lovely friendly people who really want you to have a great experience. If you're up for a good time this is a unique day out, and you would never have seen the Thames is quite this way! For the money I'd say it's fairly good value. It made my girlfriend smile on her birthday, so it did the trick.
Well organised and a great trip
Great experience- good commentary and pleasant helpful staff. Not long enough.
The staff were extremely welcoming and made the experience great fun. Pleased to say they were all extremely safety conscious too so we felt we were in good hands. All necessary clothing, safety equipment was provided. Very easy to find, great location. Brilliant to hear information about landmarks as well as the jet experience. The jet experience was fab - will do it again. Thank you!
The perfect way to view the landmarks along the Thames with a thrilling high speed “chase†to add to the experience. Without exception the staff provided an extremely professional service. They did not take safety for granted, were very helpful and friendly and one very affable crew member even took the trouble to take photos for us with our phones/cameras. Very highly recommended.
Excellent service, excellent experience all round. An unforgettable day!
Great fun! Recommend as first stop for any family touring London with a teenager.
Excellent and entertaining
Great adventure something different team were great too. Good lot of knowledge Bout history and sights too. Would recommend a tad longer doing stunts at the end by canary wharf
The experience was fantastic! From the lovely efficient guy who met us in the waiting room and gave us our safety briefing to the skippers who looked after us and gave us a thrilling ride. I especially liked the locked box to put all our valuables in which was a great extra. I would heartily recommend this trip and would love to do it again. Thank you
A really good fun hour in London, cruising up the Thames before speeding and weaving near Canary Wharf on a high speed 'chase'. Got a little bit wet from some of the splashing, but that's all part of the fun (and the provided coats/trousers kept our good clothes getting soaked!). Definitely a unique way of seeing the sights. The coats were a bit smelly though!
Fab staff, boat was beautiful and trip was fun and educational ***
Really good experience to do. Good bit of details on building going past aswell
Was even better than anticipated
Defiantly would book again
Great experience. It was over too quickly.
Crew amazing, Charlie, Pete and Marc I believe, better then ever expected, information was fab and speed super
Friendly well informed staff, easy to find. Really enjoyed the experience, great fun, perfect length of time, fab way to see the city, whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.
3.5/5 not bad considering a very busy river!
WOW. What a great trip out. Not only the experience of the jet boat but viewing London from a very different angle. The family loved every bit of it.
We had a lovely time, boat went slowly enough to take some photos before speeding up and jetting down all the way to Canary Wharf. They provided us with big jackets and life jackets so we felt very safe. There were only 5 of us on the boat so it felt very personal.
Great fun!!! We were so lucky with the dry and sunny day! I didn’t wayto get off the boat in the end:)
Great sight seeing tour and excellent fun
Everything from the start to the end was fantastic.
