Do not book a disabled ticket unless you have evidence of your disability

1.00Be aware that if you book a disabled ticket you will be asked to provide evidence of your disability by the pier staff. A most humiliating experience at Battersea Park pier, aggressive staff.
Highly recommend!

5.00I had a fantastic experience on the Uber Boat in London. The service was efficient, comfortable, and offered some of the best views of the city. It was a refreshing alternative to the Tube, allowing me to enjoy London’s iconic landmarks from the Thames while avoiding crowded trains. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and departed on time. Staff were friendly and helpful, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. The seating was comfortable, and there was plenty of space to relax and take in the scenery. Travelling along the river gave me a unique perspective of landmarks such as Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, and the London skyline. I would highly recommend the Uber Boat to both visitors and locals looking for a convenient and scenic way to travel around London. I will definitely use it again.
Thank you!

5.00Fab journey today and beautifully looked after by Norman at Tower Hill. He gave me shade and a seat while a rowing race held up the boats. Thank you Norman! Iconic boat commute in the world’s best city.
The best way to get around

5.00Uber Boat is my favourite way to get around London. I live here, and the boat is mostly full of tourists, but I still take it home whenever I have the chance (instead of the Tube). So much more scenic!! The staff are always very friendly. Today I met David Notarius who was very friendly and chatty and helpful!

5.00It was a wonderful most pleasant experience
Oyster cards are a valid form of payment

4.00What we discovered after the fact was that we could have used our oyster card, knowing this would have saved us quite a bit of time looking for, and booking tickets. It was fun taking a single journey ride at night to see the city lights from the river, the view is great. Unlike a tourist river ride where a guide points out places of interest, this uber ride stopped at quays down the Thames similar to a bus stop.
Was a great way to see...

5.00Was a great way to see some of the sights and get some great photos! Went during golden hour and the photos were beautiful.
Not recommended. Expensive, unappealing, and poorly organized

1.00Very bad experience. There was no schedule information at the dock. After waiting about 20 minutes, a full boat arrives and they do not let us board. We had to wait another 20 minutes. The boat staff was very rude and unpleasant. I do not recommend it. Save your money and walk a short distance, even if it is small.
Fun!

5.00LOVED this! Went from Greenwich Pier to Tower Bridge. It was about 6pm on a tube strike day but still fairly quiet, went to buy from the ticket machine but a member of staff said to tap in and tap out down by the boat for a single trip. Plenty of seats in the boat and a few at the back outside. Definitely worth trying to get at the back for much better views. Have been on the Mersey Ferry but this was much better (and faster)! Loved seeing some of the riverside sights and going under Tower Bridge was great. Cost just over £11 each for a single trip between those two piers which is a little expensive but worth the experience. Wouldn't use it all the time, but great for a one off!
