Definitely fun and a well run operation. We expected a bit more waves and an exhilarating ride; however, it was still fun and we had an enjoyable experience. Nice being on a small boat with just a few fellow passengers. The “James Bond” music and other tunes are cool! Felt very confident in their abilities.

Great experience, however worth doing the Thames rockets and paying extra....live commentary on the Thames excursion packed full of information,this trip was just a prerecorded commentary which I could hardly hear...me and my son still.enjoyed it though.
