About this tour
See London take on a golden glow from the Thames, then feel the pace rise as your speedboat cuts through the water. This 50-minute London Sunset Speedboat Experience pairs riverside views with a lively ride led by an expert guide and professional skipper.
Set off from London Eye Pier and pass familiar sights including the Gherkin and Tower Bridge. As the boat reaches the stretch toward Canary Wharf, hold on while the skipper opens the throttle and the ride twists into a high-speed dash. Music adds to the energy, while the changing light brings a fresh perspective to the city’s landmarks. After the ride, enjoy a seasonal drink before heading back toward the London Eye.
A lifejacket and live English-language guide are provided, and your mobile ticket makes arrival straightforward. Book the London Sunset Speedboat Experience for a spirited way to see the Thames and London’s riverside skyline.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 265 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.4. Top 1% in London means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in London by this score.
