Get ready for a joyous journey through the city of dreaming spires.
So, why is this stretch of the Thames outside London so famous? Well, legends like Jerome K Jerome and Lewis Carroll were inspired here! Imagine the tales that unfolded with 'Three Men in a Boat' and the adventures of Alice down this iconic river.
But enough with the history – let's talk about the now! This experience is your golden ticket to soak in glorious countryside views from the water. Brace yourself for a fresh take on iconic sights like College Boat Houses, Christ Church, Folly Bridge, and water meadows. Keep those peepers peeled for local wildlife, and snap-happy photographers, get ready for your Kodak moments!
You’ll also enjoy a delectable afternoon tea fit for royalty. Because nothing screams elegance like sipping tea on a boat with breathtaking views.
This 1 ½-hour cruise for two kicks off from the famous Folly Bridge around 3.30 pm – the golden hour for relaxation and savouring the delightful treat of afternoon tea as the river serenades you.
The route is a scenic feast, taking you through the University Regatta Course, past Oxford's most beautiful spots, and downstream towards Iffley Lock. Keep your eyes peeled for rowers, punters, and maybe even some river athletes in training. With stunning countryside and jaw-dropping architecture, there's something for everyone – that is if they can tear their eyes away from the feast that is afternoon tea!
Brought to you by the local gem, The Folly, this tea extravaganza includes finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and a heavenly selection of cakes – all washed down with a pot of tea or coffee. So, hop aboard and let's cruise, munch, and make some sweet memories!

Very pleasant afternoon, made better as we were the only ones on the boat! Had it been full, the normal situation, it would not have been too enjoyable at all. Don’t come hungry.
