Tour guide is professional and engaging. Helpfully the postcode given in the confirmation email will take you exactly to the spot you need if coming by car, nearby is a set of steps down to the canal. You need to be fairly agile. My mum managed the narrow steps onto the boat with only slight difficulty but others may struggle. I love the make do and mend lifestyle and glad to see its alive and well in this community. They really care about wildlife and recycling etc. The seats inside the boat are presumably upcycled from a school or tram. It's all rather charming. Toilets: No toilets aboard so pop over to the white washed pub (over the blue bridge) and purchase a beverage for a pee. There's also a public set of toilets further down the canal in an easterly direction but across the other blue bridge. · via Google [Stephen Spencer](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102438641990115377680/reviews) ★★★★★ This was a fabulous way to explore a lovely part of London. The tour takes just over an hour, commentary was excellent, and not overbearing, and the views from down on the water lovely. We took a late morning boat from Little Venice, stopped off in Camden for lunch, then walked the entire route back (apart from the tunnel section). A fabulous day out, but book ahead, as all the seats on our boat were filled and walk ins had to wait for later boats. · via Google [Anna Minnegaraeva](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117258093182001441809/reviews) ★★★★★ Absolutely amazing experience ❤️ Ruban made our day 😂 it’s not just historical explanations but 45 min comedy stand up ! Thank you! Highly recommend · via Google [Michelle Hillyard](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101440326920313580540/reviews) ★★★★★ Excellent trip today with Rudy who was very knowledgeable and funny.
