Hello. I'm sorry to hear about this disappointment. All our tickets are issued for fixed departure times. If you booked via Viator or Tripadvisor I would suggest that you contact them directly as it sounds as though an error may have been made at their end and they should be able to refund you. Many thanks.

This was a very nice boat trip down the Thames. Just under an hour, with very nice scenery. You will like this if you are looking for a short boat trip.
