Looking for a real London adventure? Hop aboard a Thames Rocket for an experience which offers the perfect combination of sightseeing and high-speed aquatic action! Board the vessel and head upstream, soaking in unique views of iconic London landmarks such as the EDF Energy London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern and the Tower of London with an expert commentator on board to provide interesting facts and insights on their longstanding histories. During the trip, hold on tight as your skipper opens up the throttle and takes the Rocket for a wild spin around the Thames while completing a series of sharp turns and thrilling 360 degree spins - a great addition to a day out in the capital.
