The tannoy system was set so high at the open part on back of the boat I took at 1130 last Wednesday going east from London Bridge that we literally has to cover our ears -ambulance siren levels. As this is the only part of the boat that doesn't smell of fuel and polished plastic - like the old hovercrafts - should be carefully looked after. Unfortunately the crew say they have no access to volume level - it's the responsibility of the engineers. So that's all right then.....

Great service. Need more return boats

Regularly use the Uber boats to travel from Imperial wharf to meetings in the City. Great way to commute without the stress of the underground particularly when carrying heavy presentation kit. PLEASE can we have more direct boats on the return journey. Currently only one an hour. Would consider a travel pass if the service was more frequent and no need to change at Battersea Power station. I currently tube the return journey.

Normally all the staff are polite

Normally all the staff are polite, professional, and very helpful. Today on my trip from Westminster to Greenwich 1015am there were 2-3 times the number of staff and we were treated like cattle by 80% of the staff “stand there!” “Move here !” all abrupt and rude. I feel sorry for the staff I normally encounter on this trip who do an amazing job. Why were there so many staff and why were there so rude?

We booked a party of 4 to use the London Clipper after an event at the O2 finished early at 9:30. We waited a long time and people at the front of a queue were able to get on a boat. After a further 20 minute delay, another boat turned up and told us to find another means of transportation. I've asked for a refund twice now, with no response. Shocking process and system. Would definitely not recommend using them, unless you like throwing your money away

Alysha should get staff of the month

What should be a 1 star review due to a long wait, cancelled boats and poor communication , has turned into a 5 star review because of staff member Alysha who manages the queues and boarding by Tower Bridge. Under very difficult circumstances and lots of disgruntled customers she kept her cool and her smile. I hope Alysha day got better. My friend and I made it to Westminster armed with a wealth of information, thanks to Alysha

We took a day trip to London and paid around £70 for a group of four on the Uber Boat, only to unknowingly travel beyond Westminster and be told at Greenwich that we had to pay an extra £17 to return—making it feel like a misleading and overpriced experience that tourists should be warned about.

Tube strikes made the service ultra busy and I queued forever… but the staff were great. Loved the attitude at Embankment when I changed during a crazy long journey. They were friendly, happy and efficient. Making the best out of a bad situation.

Rude Member of Staff

After boarding the Uber boat from London Bridge to Battersea we were treated extremely rudely by a very aggressive ‘Alisha’ I think her name was it ruined our experience. Her customer service was atrocious and after challenging her why she felt the need to be so rude she reared up at us in a very aggressive manner. Her customer service skills need to be reconsidered especially considering it’s a people’s persons job.

A frequent user of Thames Uber Clippers, today was not my best experience. Staff on the return from Greenwich, 17.20. 26.08.25 were rude and bullying. Herding ticket payers along, passengers unsteady on their feet shouted at to hurry. Really embarrassing, can't imagine what foreign visitors must have thought. Ironic that signs everywhere inform that 'NO rudness or inappropriate behaviour towards staff is tollerated'. What about the other way around?
