We did the afternoon canoe hire, told to arrive 10 minutes early which we did but then the person turned up half an hour late, therefore stood around waiting for 40 minutes, had to call the company ourselves to find out what was going on, would have liked some communication. They did say we could have extra time at the end but this did not work for us as had a tight schedule and couldn't do the extra time due to other commitments. The canoeing itself was fun.

We had a lovely self-guided canoe trip along the canal. Relaxed atmosphere and great value. All the TNR staff we spoke to were extremely friendly and helpful, even helping get us to/from where we were supposed to be when we turned up at the wrong place.

A fun paddling experience despite the rainy weather. We were given clear safety and etiquette instructions. Nice scenery along the river and views from the aqueduct were really cool!

Amazing experience, many thanks to Grizzly for keeping us all safe. Not a challenging paddle by any means, but what a location!!

Canoeing over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is something myself and family will remember forever! So much fun, beautiful surroundings and a friendly and helpful staff to meet and greet us. Amazing experience and great value for money

Wonderful experience for the whole family! It was our first time on the canoe, we picked up the sport whilst at it, and in the process learnt a lot more!

We went canoeing on a particularly windy and rainy day - great for those thrill seekers who literally enjoy living life on the edge. I reckon during calmer weather it’s a lot calmer and peaceful. However, I organised this for my partners birthday and he really enjoyed this activity. Tom Robinson was confident and looked after us very well. Showed us a great time on the aqueduct and we would definitely recommend!

Awesome experience, the tour guide was amazing she made the experience even better, making it fun with activities and information about the history of the aqueduct. We will be back, and hopefully have the same lady. Thankyou for a great experience. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anybody.
