I recently visited the IFS Cloud Cable Car and had a really good experience. The views over the River Thames were amazing, especially the skyline and the O2 Arena. The ride was smooth and felt very safe throughout. I went with my family and everyone enjoyed it a lot. The ride is a bit short, but the experience is definitely worth it if you’re looking to try something different in London. The best time to go is around sunset when the views look even more beautiful. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying at least once 👍

It was a great treat for my sister who was visiting me and also a wonderful space and time to share with her! She was full of excitement and having a car all to ourselves was the cherry on top! It was my second visit. The whole area around the Greenwich peninsula seems to have changed over time so there's more to see from up high and it was breath taking! Nothing scary at all about being in the cable car! We loved it!

This cruise was excellent! Great value for money and what made it special was the commentary provided by the crew! Very entertaining, full of humour. He spoke clearly and slowly which really helped my Mum (86) who is quite deaf! This made all the difference. Availability of food on board was a little disappointing but this didn't matter too much.

Amazing little cable car over the Thames with incredible views of east London and the city, and even better after dark seeing all the wonderful lights of London. Highly recommend it, especially going southbound to visit the gorgeous Greenwich.

    We had a wonderful experience today taking an Uber Boat from Westminster to Tower Pier as part of my son’s first birthday celebration. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our day in London. The journey offered beautiful sightseeing views along the Thames, which made the trip both relaxing and memorable. Traveling by boat was smooth, convenient, and a refreshing change from typical city transport. It also worked perfectly as a comfortable commute back to our hotel. The staff were helpful, and everything felt well-organized. Overall, it was a great experience that added something special to our celebration, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London.

    We weren't able to get on the boat during our scheduled time slot; the guide told us another one would leave in 20 minutes, but it took more than 45 minutes before the next boat left.

    Great service—it's not like Uber's water taxis, where you can't see a thing. On this cruise, they go slower and point out the sights as they go, plus you can see everything while sitting comfortably on the upper deck.

    The commentary was very good and highlighted lots of the sites and interesting facts. Really easy to get to Westminster Pier on the tube and made for a very scenic outdoor trip to Greenwich.
