Overview

Everyone says visiting a new city with little ones can be tough. But have they tried it with teens?? It’s hard to find a tour that can engage your tweens and teens without boring them or leaving them on their phones. However, we have the solution. This London Eye and Speedboat Cruise is a perfect introduction tour to London that will not only keep the whole tribe engaged, but will provide an adventurous route through it!

First let your head float up into the clouds as you step aboard the London Eye! With your fast-track tickets, you’ll skip the line and enter a 360° observation capsule. These pods allow the most magnificent panoramic view of London, and they move at just the right pace for you to catch a glimpse of it all. This is the tallest cantilevered wheel in the whole world, so it’s no wonder that it’s the most popular paid tourist attraction in the U.K. with almost 4 million visitors annually!  From up here, your family-friendly guide will play a fun spotting game with your kids- can they spy famous London monuments just from photographs?

Once you have floated down from above, it’s time for a faster ride. Hop aboard your speed boat to enjoy a 50-minute exciting journey. Going an average speed of 35 mph, you’ll see everything from the London Eye to the Tower of London.  Keep your eyes peeled for the Houses of Parliament, Cleopatra’s Needle, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, and skyscrapers with nicknames such as the Gherkin, the Cheese-grater, and the Walkie-Talkie. Try to recognize the iconic sites you saw from above!

Step off your wild ride onto the South Bank of the river Thames, famous not just for the London Eye, but also for the Royal Festival Hall and Royal National Theatre. Opposite you is the New Palace of Westminster, also known as The Houses of Parliament, and the unmistakable clock tower – The Elizabeth Tower – affectionately known throughout the world as Big Ben, which is where we are heading next!

After this action-packed tour, your kids and teens will be begging for other activities to discover more of the city. Isn’t exploring just so much fun?

If you’d like to relax a bit while seeing the same sites, take a look at our London Eye and Cruise Tour.

FAQ

Is this tour suitable for all ages?

For sure! We suggest this tour for teens simply because it is more adventurous, but anyone above the age of 4 is welcome aboard. However, this tour is not allowed for women who are at any stage of pregnancy per the boat company regulations.

Can we privatize the speedboat ride?

Yes we can! The speedboats only have 12 seats, so they are ideal for a private ride! Just send us a message in our contact form and we’ll let you know about the added price to make the boat ride private for you and your loved ones.

What if it rains or snows?

[bouton_read_more]

Our tours always run- rain or shine! The boat will be equipped with goggles and waterproof clothing in cases of heavy rain.

Can we combine it with a tour in the Tower of London?

For sure! We have an awesome Treasure Hunt in the Tower of London. Just send us a message in our contact form and we’ll let you know about the added price.

Does this include some visits inside monuments?

This activity focuses on seeing the main sites all across London, so there won’t be enough time to visit the inside of the monuments. If you’d like to add some inside visits, get in contact with our superhero squad, and we’ll work some magic to craft the perfect tour for you!

Is this speedboat ride safe?

Absolutely. Every rider will be equipped with a lifejacket to fit their size. Additionally, every boat operator is specially trained and holds first aid certifications.
