Great for transportation but not sightseeing!
Good for getting to locations along the river but not for any sightseeing. Boat is enclosed and unable to see any landmarks when sitting inside. There is a small area at the outside rear of the boat but not great views !
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our service useful for travelling to destinations along the river. We're sorry, however, that the experience did not meet your expectations as a sightseeing trip. We appreciate your comments regarding the onboard viewing experience and the availability of outdoor seating areas. Customer feedback such as yours helps us understand how different passengers use and experience the service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Kind regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Great way to see larger areas of London
Great service. Staff work super hard. Pre-booked our tickets in advance. They can then be used from your phone’s wallet. Staff were all friendly and helpful - they defo work VERY hard! Boats were busy and it’s advisable to plan your ‘sailings’ to miss some of the busier times. We had good views of all that we wanted to see, even got to experience the ‘sports mode!’ Food and drinks were averagely priced (for London). My only two gripes; signage/timetable could be better and our last trip back from Greenwich was quite rough. I don’t think this was due to tide/current but more due to rushing. Would absolutely use the service again in the future.
Response from the operator: Hello Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the service, views and our team’s hard work—we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words. We also appreciate your comments on signage and your recent journey, and we’ll take these on board as we continue to improve. Kind regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Norman was a star! Give him a salary rise😂
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’ll make sure Norman receives your kind words—he’ll really appreciate it. Warm regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Tried the Uber Boat for the first time
Tried the Uber Boat for the first time today and honestly… such a hidden gem. The station is literally right outside my place in Royal Wharf, and I took it all the way to Tower Bridge, the whole experience just felt effortless. It’s such a peaceful alternative to the usual London commute. No crowded tubes, just sitting back, enjoying the views along the Thames. It actually made the journey feel like part of the day, not just something to get through. Super convenient, clean, and on time. Definitely doing this more often, especially when I want a commute that doesn’t drain me.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear your first journey was such a positive one and that you enjoyed the comfort and views along the Thames. It’s great that you found the service convenient, clean, and reliable. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon. Kind regards, The Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

A Scenic and Flexible Way to Explore London, With a Few Caveats
I recently bought the 2 Day London Hop On Hop Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, and it ended up being one of the most enjoyable ways I found to get around the city. The biggest highlight is easily the perspective you get from the river. Seeing landmarks like Tower Bridge and London Eye from the water feels completely different compared to walking or taking the Tube. The views are genuinely beautiful throughout the journey, especially if you manage to grab a spot on the outdoor deck. The flexibility is another strong point. Having unlimited rides for 48 hours makes it really convenient to explore at your own pace. You can hop on and off at different piers without stressing too much about timing, which worked perfectly for visiting places like Greenwich and moving between central spots without dealing with crowded underground trains. The boats themselves are modern, clean, and comfortable. There is a good mix of indoor seating, which is useful when the weather is not great, and outdoor space if you want to enjoy the views. There is also a small café onboard, which is a nice touch for grabbing a coffee during the ride. That said, there are a few downsides. At peak times, the boats can get quite busy, and finding a good seat, especially outside, is not always easy. I also noticed that the schedule is not always perfectly reliable, so it is not the best option if you are in a rush or trying to stick to a very tight itinerary. Another thing to keep in mind is that this is more of a transport experience than a guided tour. There is no commentary, so if you are expecting explanations about the landmarks, you might feel like something is missing. In terms of value, it makes sense if you use it several times over the two days. If you only take a couple of rides, it can feel a bit expensive compared to other transport options in London. Overall, I would definitely recommend it for the experience and the views. It is a relaxed and scenic way to see the city, even with a few minor inconveniences.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed and balanced review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the river views, flexibility, and onboard comfort, and that the pass worked well for exploring London at your own pace. We appreciate your comments regarding busy periods and planning considerations, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you on board again soon. Kind regards, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day London Hop-On Hop-Off River Thames Sightseeing Pass start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
