We were bought this as a gift. It was easy to book on line. The trip was really lovely and our skipper was just wonderful. She was both informative and a great sense of humour. Definitely recommend. One thing I would say is take some cash to tip the skipper. We didn't and I felt so bad as she made the trip so enjoyable.

It took a while to book this cruise as we could not find a date suitable until October! The whole experience was really amazing! we were only 5 people on the boat so we felt really safe. The skipper was really nice and happy to tell us all about the history of Oxfords rivers. We had a lovely time and would definitely do it again!

We were bought this river cruise as a gift, and had to postpone booking due to the summer lockdown. However the wait was worth it and we had a wonderful morning on the water on a sunny day in September. Our guide was excellent- very informative and friendly, and the route we took through Oxford was so beautiful. A really relaxing way to spend a morning - would definitely recommend! Thank you.
