Fabulous day exploring Greenwich

Used the boat to cut down on a long walk and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Was unexpected as had not planned to do the trip that way! Malkeet was extremely helpful and told us about the Greenwich Foot Tunnel which we knew nothing about- so was yet another unexpected experience! Brilliant!

Operator response

It’s great when an unplanned journey becomes a memorable one! We’re especially pleased to hear how helpful Malkeet was — sharing insights like the Greenwich Foot Tunnel is exactly the kind of service we love our team to provide. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words! So glad you had not just one, but two unexpected discoveries. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon for more brilliant experiences along the Thames! Many thanks Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

The perfect way to travel!

I honestly did not realise that Uber boats were a thing. Shows you how long it is since I left London! But what a great (and efficient in my case) way to travel. We used the boat only for one stop, from the O2 down to Greenwich, but really enjoyed the experience. A good price, comfortable, and a bar with snacks!

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your trip from the O2 to Greenwich and found it comfortable and convenient. We hope to welcome you back for more journeys soon! Kind Regards, Uber Boats by Thames Clippers

Pointless and frustrating

It was a frustrating experience. To be honest, from a product or service perspective, it is not a sight seeing attraction because it doesn't have big windows. It is also not a transportation as it takes 10x more time than any other method, walking included. Pointless attraction. There's also a hour long waiting line...
