Ride Uber Boat all day and soar over the Thames by cable car, with London sights, flexible stops, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“It was a very surprisingly, smooth, fabulous and very enjoyable day out. We had really a very, very nice day, not expecting an uber ride to take us to Greenwich where we took our Emirates airline ride. This kind of day out is recommended. Thank you very much.”
Ride the Thames all day with flexible hop-on hop-off access, landmark views, Greenwich stops, and family-friendly value.
“Loved the fact that we could board the boat and stay on as long or as short of a time as we wanted.”
Explore the Giant’s Causeway, Dark Hedges, Belfast murals, and Titanic Belfast with a coastal coach tour and two-day bus pass.
“We had a fantastic day trip visiting the Giant's Causeway, which was spectacular. Our tour guide, Patrick, was brilliant - funny, informative & made the day so special taking us to some beautiful places! He knows his history & shared so many stories both old & new (including interesting facts about the Games of Thrones which, whether a fan or not, were fascinating) Myself & my husband loved this trip from start to finish - it was great value, well worth the money & a fantastic way to see some beautiful places of interest (including Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, Carrickfergus Castle, the dark hedges & an amazing cavern & coastal areas.…”
Review of Belfast’s Giant’s Causeway and open-top bus combo, with castle stops, coastal views, practical timing, value, and honest drawbacks.
“The Giants Causeway part of this excursion was excellent and our guide Stephen was fantastic. He drove the coach and gave us a full commentary of what we were seeing. Each place we went to had the perfect amount of time and we were always made aware of what to expect at each destination. I would have given this an excellent but the coach tour of Belfast section of this ticket was not as good. The coach tour of the city itself was great and having a live guide aboard the bus was a nice touch. However, what let it down was the frequency of the buses. We had to…”
Review the Portsmouth to Isle of Wight day tour, with Godshill, Alum Bay, the Needles, ferry details, costs, and practical tips.
“Dorp wat we bezochten was leuk maar klein, tijd was te kort om goed rond te kijken en iets te drinken. Tijd bij de Needle was te lang, zeker als je niet van wandelen houdt.”
Review of the 1-day Liverpool Pass, with Beatles sights, Anfield, river cruise, bus tour, costs, limits, and practical planning tips.
“I booked this in March and the most realistic review was put on in July. The tour is nothing like the description. We couldn’t find the starting point or any bus to get on at all. We made our own way to Anfield in an Uber. We showed our tiRead more”
Review of London’s 2-day Thames Clippers pass, with route tips, stop highlights, value advice, accessibility, and booking details.
“Gut Englischkenntnisse sind zwingend erforderlich, da JEDER Mitarbeiter das Ticket zuerst ablehnt hat und ich auf Englisch erklären musste, dass es doch für Uber-Boat gilt. Grund: Es gibt ein anderes Bootsunternehmen, welches mit einer Art Sightseeing-Pass für Bootstouren wirbt (so einen Pass hat Uber-Boat überhaupt nicht). Habe locker 2 Stunden Diskussionen auf Englisch hinter mir, wobei ich bei einer Fahrt alleine dreimal Überzeugungsarbeit leisten musste. Ohne gutes Englisch wäre ich komplett verloren gewesen. Als solches ist das Ticket eine Empfehlung, wenn denn der Begriff "Sightseeing-Pass" durch "Uber-Boat-Ticket" (oder was auch immer) ersetzt werden würde.”
Explore Bath by bus and on foot with a flexible 2-day Tootbus pass, Jane Austen audio walk, Roman sights, and Georgian landmarks.
“The commentary was interesting and informative. It was a great way to see the best bits of Bath without too much walking. The hop-on-hop-off aspect was useful as we could spend extra time in the bits that we found most interesting. Most of the bus drivers were very friendly and helpful. This is a great way to see and explore Bath.”
