Sweep down the world-famous river that divides the capital taking in the stunning London skyline, and don’t forget a camera! Friendly, knowledgeable guides are just waiting to share all the fun stories, kooky facts and fascinating gossip they’ve picked up through years of runs down the river, and this rigid inflatable hits speeds of up to 35mph so hold on tight!
