What visitors say
Got the Uber boat from Barking Riverside a 3min walk to the pier. On time the sleek catamaran pulled in. A good few stops zigzaging the Thames, great views of Thames barrier, O2, Greenwich and the Cutty Sark, Tate Modern, Tower Bridge and H.M.S Belfast. I disembarked at Westminster. Not the cheapest but the most fun! £13.50 for a single fare. Lovely and clean, comfortable seats or sit or stand open air at the back to watch the twin engines put on the speed! Hot and cold drinks and a bar. Snacks and a few souvenirs to be had. 2 toilets, 1 out of order! Over all a very enjoyable 1hr-20 on the river.

Went on the Ubet Boat with my family 4 adults and a child. We went from Barking Reach to Putney. We had a great day out. Stopped at Canary Wharf for lunch. Got to see some sights that we will be going to visit again on the Uber. The staff were friendly and helpful and my granddaughter loved it when the boat went fast. All in all a great day.

Terrible experience if you’re commuting to somewhere with a purpose. Chose this because I was attending an event at 5pm near Barking and the pier was closer than any tube station. I boarded at 1508 pm at Embankment Pier. I missed last entry. It took the best part of 2 hours to make the journey and I lost out on a £60 music event. They should make it clear how long the journeys take. This distance should take no more than 45-60 minutes max or they make it CLEAR how long it takes and I would have take a tube and walked instead

Very fast and easy access to all attractions in London, beating the traffic and the pollution of the underground. Must more fun travelling on the Thames and reasonably priced too.
