Yes, guided London jet boat tours are definitely worth it, especially if you love high-speed thrills. You can take a short-and-sweet or a more extended jet boat cruise on the River Thames to admire the sights along the riverbank—such as the Tower of London and Tower Bridge—from a different angle, listen to narrated commentary, and enjoy the high speeds and some tricks on the water.

Per one customer who booked the High-Speed Thames River Speedboat in London, "Loved the ride, it was a nice excursion, you see the buildings from a different angle, they put music for the speed ride part. Keep in mind, not all the ride is at a high speed, about half of it, the other half was a guided tour. Really good experience."

If you have any physical limitations or concerns—such as back problems, or you’re pregnant—it’s a good idea to check whether your chosen jet boat tour is suitable for you. Some tours cannot guarantee your comfort or safety if you have special physical needs or medical issues. Also, it’s a good idea to check whether any wet- or cold-weather gear is provided, such as blankets or rain ponchos. You’ll usually be sitting in an uncovered part of the boat and will be exposed to the elements.

Whatever the season, make sure to wear a warm jacket for a London jet boat tour. As you pick up speed, the wind can have a chilling effect, even on a warm day. Leave large bags or personal belongings behind, as there may be limited space to store them securely. If you wear glasses or sunglasses, a strap can help prevent them from ending up in the river. Further, sunglasses are recommended as it’s difficult to wear a hat on a high-speed boat.
