Every time we're in London for holiday and if the weather is good, we like to take this river cruise to Greenwich for brunch or lunch. The Thames Sightseeing Tour boats are usually smaller and less crowded. They cruise along at a slower pace which we prefer. The crew are usually very knowledgeable about the landmarks along the way, sometimes describing them with a bit of British humor which is much appreciated. This particular day was spectacular, sunny, breezy and calm currents. Very enjoyable day out on the water! Cheers!

Great to discover a part of London that's a little less known to the general public, with very interesting commentaries tinged with "so british" humor! The boat is very pyttoresque and the number of participants rather small, which makes the trip even more enjoyable. It was great to leave Little Venice and arrive at Camden market to have a bite to eat at one of the many stalls. I highly recommend it!

I liked the commentary that went along with the tour. I liked how clean and organized the boat was. I had a very heavy suitcase with me and the staff was very helpful by storing it for me so that I could enjoy the cruise without having to worry about lugging my suitcase up and down stairs. I recommend this cruise to anyone who is going to London for a short period of time and who wants to see a lot of sites.

I would highly recommend Uber Boats. I purchased 2 Hop on Hop off all day tickets for myself and my wife with the intension of using them to travel up and down the Thames between various tourist locations, with the piers located at convienient places along the river, however due to a slight lack of planning on my account and staying nearly all day at the Tower of London we were unable to take full advantage of this form of travel. We visited London in late September when it was a little less crowded, we had very little queing for our chosen times of travel even though the boats were busy. The staff looked well trained and very good at their job, we felt as if we were in very good hands while on board. Uber Boats comes highly recommended from myself and my wife and if you do use them I hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did.

We did the hop-on hop-off trip as a family, wonderful. The possibility to go down, walk around and go back up and do the last tour at night was great. Highly recommended.
