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.

We had uber boat. It was a great boat and the crew were friendly. There was no guide on the tour. It was only a transporter. And there was a good wait time for return boat.

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.
