Uber boat to grenwich

We do not come to london much only for a treat. Had a small problem with tickets but asked for a manager and had it sorted out very quickly by Oritse ( hope I spelled it correctly) he should be recognized as a great asset to the Uber boat family, polite helpful and a great smile thanks again

An absolute rip off

We travelled from Canary Wharf to Tower Millennium- cost us £43 for a family of four one way. This is nothing short of piracy of the high seas. For that price I’d expect to have an on-board meal, and some entertainment. The journey itself in all seriousness is awesome - as an experience it’s very good. But the price… sweet Jesus…. It’s just bat-poo-crazy.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience, though we’re sorry you were unhappy with the pricing. If you’d like us to look into this further, please contact our Customer Support team via the “Contact Us” page on our website and we’ll be happy to assist.

First time user

Excellent way to get around London. Used it as a water taxi to get from place to place and worked really well. Also it is a very comfortable ride after walking for hours. All of the crew I met were informative and helpful. We plan to incorporate the Uber boat into future trip planning. Norman at Greenwich thanks for answering all my questions.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed travelling with us and found the service comfortable and convenient. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Norman and the crew at Greenwich. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon! Kind Regards, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers

Thanks Norman

Thanks to Norman and crew for making sure as a late last passenger I made the 1:40pm boat to Battesea. In true Milk Tray ad style he left me his card, except I left on the boat! 🤣
