We had a brilliant tour today, at 4.30 it ended up just being me and my husband. The guy that took us on the tour (sorry didn't get his name) was great, he gave interesting facts and had quiet times, the perfect balance to take in the tour with stunning scenery and weather. Really recommended thank you

Our captain was friendly helpful and full of knowledge. We had lovely weather and the ability to order drinks and bring with us on the cruise was an added delight. Highly recommend.

My husband booked this to do for my birthday. We usually plan a trip to Oxford each year so have done all the museums and usual touristy things now so were pleased to find something new to do. Paul our skipper, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out lots of interesting things to see along the river as we bobbed along. There was just two other groups on with us so it was very peaceful and relaxing. I would happily book again and do the longer trip or one with the afternoon tea

Great river cruise, really enjoyed the fact that we were able to walk around and take pictures near the lock at the end of the river. Our guide had a lot of good anecdotes and was really pleasant! He even noticed I booked the cruise aiming to take some pictures and tried to point out the nicest photo areas of the cruise. We went on the cruise with our 2 yo daughter and she really enjoyed it as well, big boat, quite spacious.

Excellent cruise made all the better by the commentary by Jo the skipper. He had lots of information coupled with a great sense of humour.

The information about the Thames and the boats and houses right on a small part of the river was interesting but for seeing historic parts of Oxford this was disappointing. The course did not bypass any iconic building. Our guide was also a bit quite making what he said hard to hear.

Chiara P

The guide was very informative, friendly and punctual, and would deserve a 5/5. The experience itself of being on the boat is cute, however, there isn’t much to see in terms of notable buildings etc. The highlight for me was when we got a glimpse of a deer in a meadow.

A peaceful jaunt down the river with a small group and was just what was needed after a busy city tour.

Very knowledgeable skipper, we learned a lot about the area and the river, thoroughly enjoyed it. There were lots of titbits of information you wouldn’t read in a tour book too.
