The ThamesJet “Rush” is a 50 minute adrenaline fuelled fun speedboat experience, where you will enjoy sightseeing, speed and awesome aquabatics. You will see various iconic sights such as the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower that houses the world famous Big Ben, the London Eye, Shard and HMS Belfast to name a few, in fact you need to stay alert because the sights really do come thick and fast on this stretch of the river. So sit back and enjoy the view as we also pass under some of the Capital's great bridges including the most modern, Millennium Bridge, as well as the world renowned majestic Tower Bridge on our way to the fast zone. Once past Tower Bridge we are heading for speed, our experienced skippers will give you the aquabatic ride of your life! Twists and turns as we wave jump and speed our way around Canary Wharf. After all the adrenaline fuelled fun, we head back to Westminster pier and you have time to admire the view, catch a breath and take in the great experience of speeding along the Thames and maybe even get those sightseeing pictures or the must have selfie.

Enjoyable experience, book direct with Thamesjet not Groupon as you can book tickets for under 16s
Had a great time. Really enjoyed it especially going fast and the music played added to the atmosphere.
Reasonable price and excellent experience.
It's so easy I couldn't believe how easy it was. The ease was so unbelievably easy I was stunned how easy I found it.
Good value for the money.
Friendly and helpful for the entire 50 mins

Thrilling memorable ride down the thames with informative and fun soundtrack
Thoroughly enjoyed, would definitely recommend!!
Excellent. Smooth and Simple
It was a great experience!!!
good value for money through groupon
Fabulous well organised and great fun
Went with my sister and my mum, amazing experience, we all loved it and would do it again :-)
Courteous staff and great time!
I had to call to book - it would be great to be able to book directly online even with a Virgin experience voucher
Good fun for the family! Great guide.
Fantastic adrenalin rush. Interesting commentary on the boat. Just one problem was the very loud and unnecessary music. Mission impossible music good but no need for the other 'general' music. So loud could not speak to the person sitting next to me.
A thrilling and fun boat trip. Excellent customer service.
Wow nothing but good things to say! Amazing experience, incredible staff! This experience is perfect for adults and couples! Definetely a unique and once of a lifetime experience. It was worth every pound.
Had a great time. This was a fun filled 50 minutes and the staff were all very helpful.
★★★
My group found the actual "speedboat" part of the experience too short. Most of the 50 minutes was spent on a normal sightseeing cruise along the Thames. It would be better if the boat left from closer to Tower Bridge so that the access to the quieter stretch of the river was longer.
The kids loved it fab day!
The weather was great. London looks so lovely from the river, so many landmarks. Crew friendly and made it fun putting there own twist to the mission. Used a different company before which was not a patch on City Cruises. Would defiantly recommend.
מומלץ בחו×!! יחס מעולה.. חוויה מעולה...
We were unlucky with the weather, but that didn't detract too much from the enjoyment. Good time had by all.
Wonderful experience... kids enjoyed it especially once passed Tower of London
Great customer service and overall experience
The unique excitement has been replaced by a tamer version
The whole experience was amazing!! Looking forward to coming again!!
A great experience from start to finish. The staff/crew were really good.
This was a really fun hour and a unique and exciting way to see some of the different architecture and history on the banks of the thames. I liked some of the facts about the buildings that were played on the loud speaker on the slower part of the journey and then the fast part in the second half of the trip was really exciting with hairpin turns and bouncing off the waves.
very exiting and informative experience and value for money
Would have given a 5 if had lasted longer
Awesome way to see some of London's sights complete with a high speed ride.
Amazing slick team and service great experience
Great way to see the major sites along the Thames and then to cap it off with an exhilarating, high speed ride full of twists and turns. Great crew!
Good fun, amusing & useful commentary
Staff was very polite and helpful
We loved this trip however I was under the impression we would go as far as the Barrier. That said the trip time was 50 minutes and we were out for that length of time.
Fun trip and would be great with older kids... could definitely have chucked it around a bit more though!
Took my 11 year old nephew. We both found it totally awesome. Would do again and happy to recommend. Probably not suitable for people with back conditions.
Excellent trip... the commentary is a bit hammy in parts but the views of the buildings along the Thames are brilliant and the ride itself is very exciting.One drawback no toilets on Westminster Pier itself and you have to have 50p change for the ones by Westminster station!
Already mentioned reasons.
The staff was really nice and helpful, also it was a fun cruise, but I think the announcements could have been a bit louder, as with the wind and everything I couldn't really understandable. The part after the tower bridge was of course the fun part, were it goes really fast, the rest of the cruise could be a bit more exciting, but still a nice thing to do :)
I really enjoyed it!, but would loved the speed part to last a lot longer! I felt I was waiting a while to get going! But I do appreciate that there is other boats on the river! So can see why!
★★
When the boat was able to speed up, it was only for a few seconds and then we stopped. Never went as far as the Thames barrier Quite boring and anti climactic
Same reasons as already given - great expereince, professionally delivered.
everything was well explained and the purchase only took a moment
As a local a trip on the river can sometimes feel like a commute but not on this occasion. Firstly the staff were lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. the trip itself was fantastic.. a slow cruised down the river in the sunshine on an open topped boat admiring the sights , sounds and smells of the greatest city on earth. Arrive at tower bridge and the. WHAM .. Throttle down for a joyous white knuckle ride slamming across the waves and weaving about the river in tight turns... Thanks for a great experience and ill definitely be back again.....And i fully recommend to anyone... Ill also add that while it is exhilarating it wasn't scary so younger folks will love it to
service was fine - it's just false advertising about thrills
Professional and courteous, efficient
A great afternoon on the water . I would recommend to friends and family
very efficient friendly staff who gave a very indepth safety talk.
was good. bit if a pain forcing me to write more though!
Great day, we had perfect weather for the sight seeing element and the rush!!
Fantastic experience! The guided tour was very interesting, and it was super fun when it entered the speed zone!
Great experience from start to finish
Particularly impressed with staff member on pier for book in and briefing, buT all were first class
Great experience, friendly and welcoming team, lovely to see the sights from the River especially when going at speed. Highly recommend the experience if you want to do something a little different.
Great, fun experience. Loved every minute.
Awesome. Cheesy and fun!!
Fun experience, lots of nice things to see

Very enjoyable stressfree from start to finish
Worth every penny. Great!
Professional and fun for the family
Good way to see London from the river and get a little adrenaline rush.
Bought tickets for partners 50th, he wasn't disappointed.
Great fun and a different experience.
activité à couper le souffle
n/a - received as gift ticket
Esperienza unica ed esilarante, dovrebbe durare un po' di più, soprattutto la parte dell'high speed.
This was a gift so I can't really rate the purchase since I have no idea how much was spent, but I do know that it was a great experience and I would happily do it again.
The experience was an ear-ringing headache from the loud disco music being played during the entire trip. Also, look out for wet feet from the water slushing around in the bottom of the boat during manouvering.
It was fun. Some interesting facts about the monuments we were passing, some facts I never knew about. The speedy bit in open water was exhilarating rather than scary so all in all a great experience.
Great ride along the Thames. Bit of sight seeing on the way to tower Bridge then full throttle down to Greenwich with all the twists and turns to make for a thrilling ride.
Does what it says on the tin!!
