I & my wife took went on London Rib Voages on 20th May 2012. We had booked discounted tickets on lastminute.com for 26 pounds each. The weather was cold & windy. We were little apprehensive of the cold winds onboard but they offered us additional warm jackets which solved the problem. The ride lasts 50 mins. The first 25 mins... More

I bought this trip for my boyfriend via Red Letter Days and it was an absolute steel for what we got. The sun was out and (although I was slightly dreading it!) we had a real blast. The guide Tom was very informative and we got 35 minutes pelting down the Thames - from the London Eye and passed Canary... More

We had an exhilirating trip with Rib Voyages. Our children aged 5 and 7 thought it was the best part of our visit to London. I'd highly recommend this company and the ginger one! gave us a fantastic, fun and informative history lesson on the buildings lining theThames. Well worth the money for a great memory. Highly recommend this one. More

Wow, this trip was so exciting and fun. My cheeks ached from laughing. The comedian (Tom) engaged with each guests and made everyone feel welcome whilst as giving us lots of interesting information about the Thames and the sights, all with a twist of comedy. The staff were professional and safety conscious but at the same time made the whole... More

The RIB experience was so much fun, we had a brilliant tour of the Thames and we were well taken care of by Steve and Tom. Tom the tour guide was great fun and full of quirky and interesting facts about the sights of London. HIGHLY recommended and a special thanks to Tom for being so friendly and entertaining. More

Really enjoyed the RIB experience. Thanks to Tom & Steve for a fast, enjoyable trip. My only advice...make sure you turn up to the right venue. It definitely isn't the one at Embankment! But, after phoning our mobile they kindly delayed the boat by five minutes specially for us. Recommended but the front seat of the boat with no handrail... More

Second time around for me and just as exhilerating as the first rib trip! Well worth bothering to book.I took my daughter as a surprise,just told her we were doing... More

Went in March 2012 and unfortunately reviewed to the wrong site so here we go again! We had an absolutely fantastic experience. We were loaned extra jackets to keep us warmer and Amy was a superb guide. Her tour was humerous all the way through, explaining the landmarks we were passing with just enough info without making it boring. The... More
