See London’s major sights by open-top bus, add a Thames cruise and walking tour, and choose from three routes with 70-plus stops.

“The drivers were fabulous. Readily prepared to offer support when and if required. This tour is a very cost effective way to get a general overview of sites and places of interest in London. From this information we then determined where and what we wanted to spend more time exploring.”

Review of London’s Uber Boat Thames hop-on hop-off pass, with route tips, landmark views, boarding advice, value analysis, and honest drawbacks.

“great way to see London & also get about... comfortable & fun. bear in mind that although the boats are fast, the regular docking really slows a journey down- great way to travel but not as fast as bus/ train!”
