I decided to treat my mum to an Oxford River Cruise for her 60th birthday, and the whole experience was absolutely faultless from start to finish. Our guide, Paul, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and the river, and he was such a lovely man with a fantastic sense of humour. His commentary and personality really added to what was already a wonderful and memorable experience. The afternoon tea included in our trip was delicious, and the team accommodated my mum's gluten-free dietary requirements without any issues at all, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, there is honestly nothing I would have changed. Everything exceeded our expectations, and it made for a very special birthday celebration. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Oxford or looking for a unique and relaxing day out.

A very good boat cruise with a fantastic crew and beautiful views. The trip was very enjoyable although the time went so quickly. The drinks refreshments were reasonable value and well needed on such a hot summers day. Also the staff member at the bookings office was very friendly too. The only slight downfall was the time of the last cruise. On the day I went it was 4pm. An evening cruise would be nice to do avoiding the main heat of the day. Will definitely be back again 😃

Henry is the best skipper! Fantastic experience and always a must in a visit to Oxford! We upgraded our experience with a refreshing lemonade for the children in a hot summer day! Gracias

We had the absolute BEST time on our Oxford river cruise, thanks to our skipper, Henry! Henry was so much fun, his humor, personality, and knowledge of Oxford made the entire experience fantastic. He kept us entertained, laughing, and learning the whole time. And to top it all off, the delicious cocktail was the perfect addition to a beautiful time on the river! Henry truly made the cruise memorable, and we would highly recommend requesting him as your skipper!
