London RIB Voyages

Excellent fun. We definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an informative river tour and speed thrill combined. It was a Wonderful surprise.

Simply Brilliant. Loved it. I am 72, took my grandchildren - am now super'nan!!! Thank you London RIB Voyages. See you in December - we're coming back to meet Santa!!

Just taken my 13 year old son on his birthday with 4 of his mates and it was outstanding. Super fast, exhilarating and makes you scream out loud..and that was just the adults! Thanks for a great experience.

I was so thrilled by the Rib voyage tour I took this week. Amy (our guide) and Tom (our driver) were so quick to put me at ease (as I'm a little scared of water). I felt completely safe and really enjoyed even the speedy bits down the Thames. Amy's charming and personable attitude and lovely sense of humour really lit up all the interesting anecdotes and funny stories she told about London. It was certainly information I haven't heard anywhere else. This was so much fun I would recommend it to anyone looking to do something unusual on a day out. Amazing value!

Thanks Amy and Tom!!!

Brilliant... Just Brilliant. Stacey and Joe gave it their all as if we were the first (and most exciting) trip they ever had... He really knows how to drive that boat and she is hilarious from start to finish... Very enjoyable, we will be back soon... Thanks Lil and Jack

 I couldn't disagree more with the guy who said it was over priced! This is a fabulous trip. The staff are welcoming on arrival, the crew are friendly, professional and funny,  and the boat trip is nothing like your regular boat trip experience. I have been on twice and both were completely different experiences but  BOTH amazing! I couldn't recommend it enough and for the memories you take away I think it's worth every single penny. 

Just got home from a fantastic day in London with the most amazing trip down the Thames, Kids aged 6, 9, 39 & 40. Total surprise for the kids who cannot stop talking about it and such an interesting way to do the kids homework on the Tudors. Thank you to Stacey, who made it very entertaining I am sure your name will be in the school stories next week. C U again soon I am sure

Just to say that for want of something really exhilarating to do, there is nothing to match a ride in an RIB boat with Nick at the helm and Amie as your guide. Simply wonderful! Definitely do it again!

Had a great time well worth the money would like to thank Amy and Nick who were our crew they were brilliant. Will be returning again with family!

I tried it out already couple of times and it is absolutely amazing!!!
Definitely will keep coming back, worth every penny!
Such a fun thing!!

Big Thank You to Stacey our guide (and entertainer) for making by husband's 50th Birthday surprise so memorable ~ he loved that we all sang happy birthday to him (and Jaqui, who was also celebrating her 30th), on the Thames outside the Houses of Parliment. Wish the trip had been longer ~ we all enjoyed the entertaining commentary but must of all the 'high speed' bit !!!

We are a family of four ( two teenage boys 13 and 18) who wanted an alternative London trip so we thought a speed boat trip would fit in a treat. WOW !WOW! WOW!, as we sped at 30 knots down the Thames listening to the theme from James Bond ,my two sons and husbands' faces were a picture of sheer joy. Ginger Mike ( he said we could call him this ) and Tim our Captain made us feel very welcome and safe in their care. Their historical knowledge was accurate and delivered in a fun and informative way. Definitely a holiday highlight and i would strongly recommend this experience to any family.

i have just been on my second trip. I seriously have to recommend this attraction to all readers. I loved it last Nov...nearly froze to death, wrap up well in winter. This time, in Aug, was just as good if not better. Try to get on the Thames barrier trip but if not grab any tour you can and enjoy it. Tip...book early as you can. It is very safe and the staff look after you. The tour guide, Amy, pointed out the various points of interest. All the staff are enthusiastic to make it a great trip. Must say i had a slight touch of motion sickness due to the speed but you soon forget that. I caught Amy looking at me...my green face i think.. but don't let me put you off. I'm telling you the next time I'm going down to London I'm booking one of these RIB Voyages as a priority.....LOVE IT, I do and you and the kids will too....book now.

a fun trip and a great guide. Even kept our "tween" kids attention. Most impressed with how they handled themselves when mechanical problems cut short the trip. A first class company. Would recommend it.

Ginger Mike gave a superb commentary - very entertaining and topical.
thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the music - a memorable 46th wedding anniversary treat - but don't go to the FIre Station for lunch, it's a dump - we baled out and went to the St Pancras Grand instead

Wonderful trip on the Rib yesterday with Tracey & Joe--lots of laughs & so much fun--had wobbly knees for about an hour afterwards !!!

Just a quick note to give you a bit of feedback! My daughter and I had a 2pm trip yesterday on your boat with skipper Tim and guide Ginger Mike. Weather didnt spoil our enjoyment. It was great-made all the better for having a witty and informative guide. I feel that if the country had lots of history teachers in the secondary schools like Ginger Mike, the kids would actually enjoy lessons. Thanks once again.

Over-priced. There are better ways for a family to spend £90

Brilliant! I bought this for my boyfiend as a birthday surprise and he loved it! Thanks to Ginger Mike, Amy and Tom for a fab experience, they were very professional, super friendly and well organised...

Wonderful!!!!
I would thoroughly recommend the entire experience. A thrilling and fun way to see London. All staff were great, very personable, helpful and fun.
Everything was well organised, information was detailed and clearly laid out- both on the website, confirmation e-mail and on the day.
I was also very impressed by the commitment of the company to ensure that every one was present. Even phoning people to check that they were en-route. very accomodating.

An absolutely fantastic experience - I would reccommend this to anyone, and because of the small number of people the RIB can hold, it felt like a private charter experience. Also loved the high speed and open space.

What a fantastic trip. definitely 5* from this family. Everyone rated it as their holiday highlight. Matt was informative and witty as our guide and Tim threw the RIB around to everyone's delight. Brilliant fun thoroughly recommended

What a fantastic way to see London. We had an amazing time zipping up the Thames with our 2 children aged 1 and 5. The staff were great entertainment and very accommodating regarding our young family. We got to see the sites, learn some history and had lots of fun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you x

An amazing experience!!! My boyfriend and I booked this trip not really knowing what to expect but it was a brilliant outing. Not only do you get to see the wonderful sights London has to offer but you get told about their history and their existence so you learn more about your own country and its heritage. You also get to see these fantastic monuments on a speed boat - making it all that little bit more fun and exciting with a hilarious and entertaining tour guide. WE WOULD BOTH HIGHLY RECOMMEND LONDON RIB VOYAGES - AMAZING!

I went on this trip with my boyfriend and had the most amazing time. the guide was really informative and all staff were very friendly. A fantastic day for all!!

From the moment I booked our Ultimate London Adventure I received outstanding customer service both from the office staff on the phone and Amy, Nick and Tom once on the pier and boat. They went out of their way to ensure the whole experience was fantastic and that before the boat moved. Once we headed out onto the water is was wild and we felt like the luckiest people on the river. It really is the way to see the river and the staff made each one of feel special. Thanks, we will return!

Wow, what an experience! This was everything it offered. 'Awesome' and 'Wicked' my ten year old son declared several times. All of us gave it 10 out of 10 when we ranked all the excursions we'd done over our weekend - it was the only one to get top marks. Well worth the money. Would do it again and recommend it highly.

Absolutely brilliant, me and the kids surprised my husband to this fantastic ride as a birthday treat. We all had so much fun. It is well organised, the staff are really friendly and the whole experience is tremendous... would love to go again, and would highly recommend it. Thanks to Tesco Clubcard deals for the free ride!!

Took my French nieces to London for the weekend and this was the highlight for us all. The girls (16 and 13) whooped with joy. Just the right amount of thrills for me too! Great fun, very well organised and much recommended.

I have been on a few speedboat rides and this is the best one by far. These guys have got it just right. The perfect mix of sights and speed. The guide sits at the front of the boat and talks to you, the commentary is witty and interesting and this guide seemed to loved every part of the trip as much as we did. Boarding at The London Eye couldn't be easier (and more fun)... As we approached the boarding gate we were met by a lovely young lady ready to answer our questions and put our minds at ease (rain!). She even lent me her own umbrella in case I wanted it onboard (obviously not when we were going fast!!).... The guys onboard Mike with his crazy hair and endearing nature and "skipper Joe" were a great team. Well done all. We'll be back soon.

What a great trip to go on. Tom guided the first part with wit and a history lesson and then serious speed provided by the skipper Tom. Well worth the trip and great for the whole family as our 4 yr old and 17 yr old had equally as good fun. Thank you Rib Voyages.

We had a fantastic time! Coming from NZ we are used to high standards in adventure tourism and this experience certainly met those. The whole experience was professional and our guide Mike was extremely funny and witty. The speed part was thrilling. Would definitely recommend this as a must-do experience in London!

Great trip, took my daughter and friends for her 12th birthday celebration along with Dad and brother, we all enjoyed the thrill immensely. Thank you Tom and Tom and team for a well organised experience.

Fantastic! One hour of exhilaration! The crew comprising of Lucy, Tom and Tom just enhanced this wonderful experience! I cannot recommend it highly enough. I went on board with my mother (birthday treat) and my 2 children age 7,4 and just 2, they all had a ball. It was far superior than any theme park ride ..and the children learnt some facts too! Thank you so much RIB!

This is a great trip .The staff are polite and helpful and the guys doing the commentry are extreamly funny.I have now done this trip 3 times and took my dad at the weekend for fathers day and he roared with laughter most of the trip.Would deffinately go again and again.

My fathers day present from my 2 children. Absolutely wonderful experience.

Thanks to the crew!

What does one do when faced with a 17 year old niece visiting London??? With a quick look on Last Minute.com i saw the RIB trips, "what the hell" i said. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, with safety high on the list of priorities. JUST FANTASTIC was our response at the end, way more exciting than we imagined. On the way back Stacey (think that was her name) from Manchester was brilliant, she had everyone in the palm of her hand. Her history lesson was very informative but above all very funny.

Highly recommended.....just do it!

Had a wonderful trip - Joe our driver threw the RIB around at full speed - most exhilarating....and Michael our guide was funny and interesting. Good trip - recommended.

Supa dupa!!

What FABULOUS fun. I went yesterday and can assure you that this OAP, is already telling friends who weren't brave enough (!) to accompany me, that I am going AGAIN and they should come to. In the speedy bit, I would like to suggest they add "Ride of the Valkyries" (used in Apocalypse Now) to the other sound they use!

A brilliant experience. A funny, knowledgeable guide, who was genuinely informative on the first part of the boat trip and then, once out of the speed limited area, they open up the engines, which is exhilarating.
I'd highly recommend this over the standard river cruises.

This speedboat experience was highlight of a memorable day!

We took our son on the Thames Barrier Explorers Voyage after a fantastic day in town watching the Royal Wedding.

We all held on tight as this exhilarating boat sped off down river, stopping at all points of interest on route as far as the massive flood barrier.

The staff were polite and the guide onboard told us some really interesting historical facts, as well as making us laugh throughout.

Definately the higlight of the day for my 6 year old, who just said "Dad that was wicked!"

That just abouts sums it up, a definate must do when in town.

Had actually booked this unwittingly for Royal Wedding day with my 8 year old son. Not knowing what weather would bring and thinking it would be bloody freezing on river at speed bought heavy cardigan with me - needn't have bothered. The RIB people provide waterproof/windproof jackets and of course life jackets. The guy on the Pier, who checked us in was friendly and chatty and once we were kitted up - we were off. Initial part of is of moderate speed (due to Thames speed restrictions) but our guide Alex was keeping us well amused and full of historical anecdotes/ knowledge. When the speed limit ends (in olden times where you were hung (executioners point) and now a Police station) - off you go, nice and fast. This is a super trip - I am a born and bred Londoner (o.k North Londoner) and I learnt many interesting facts on the trip and it has inspired me to learn more about my great City. My Son absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. Previously he had been on the more sedate river cruise which he assures me are boring but this was brilliant and 'all boats should go like this one'. This trip gives you a thrill, history, laughs and is highly enjoyable for all the family. Genuinely recommend - worth every penny.

My partner and I had a wonderfull trip on the RIB last Friday 8th April, we booked the 80 minute trip through the barrier, it was an exciting way to see the Thames and excellant value for money. Thank You

This was so much fun. Went on Saturday with a group of friends, we had such a laugh! Our guide was so much fun!! Don't forget to hold on tight.

I literally couldn't say enough good things about this company, it was SO well run! Me and my family had a fantastic day out in London that was topped off with this unforgettable trip!!

I honestly dont think you can experience the real London without this trip!!

Thank you!

How much per person?

So much fun. Had us on the edge of our seats. Went with my friend who "hates boats" ... She soon got over that little fear and admitted this was the best thing we've done together in a long time. We will be back!.

An absolute must if you are in London any time soon. These guys know how to show you a good time. The guide was so much fun and when the skipper took over we really were holding on tight. Great fun. Highly recommended. Book it!
