Such a delightful little cruise on the Thames in Oxfordshire. Our captain was Oscar who has spent his whole life in Oxford. He has a full knowledge of the area and was able to answer all questions. If you are visiting Oxford, this tour is a must.

This river cruise was amazing! Oxford and Oxford University are places rich with history so I appreciated having a tour guide familiar with the surrounding areas and the people that live there. The river was beautiful and the boat was incredibly smooth.
I enjoyed hearing fun facts not only about Oxford’s founding but also stories about what college life is like there now- especially those in relation to the regatta races and boat houses. Our tour guide was funny and made the experience very enjoyable.

A lovely break from a hot crowded city. We got the 47 minute cruise down the river and back. Our “Captain” (Guide) was very informative and cheerful and the topic was interesting. The boat was electric, so quiet and no fumes. Despite this, if you are hard of hearing, sit at the back.
We didn’t know the boats were operated by a restaurant which looked very nice although we didn’t eat here. Maybe next time.

What a lovely way to spend an hour in the heart of Oxford. Everything looked different from the water and we were lucky with the weather too so it was a tranquil pootle. Our guide (so sorry I can't remember his name) was fun, relaxed and informative throwing in little nuggets of local information and some great historical facts.

Wat een vreselijke aanfluiting…pure geldklopperij!!! Een vieze rivier met nog smerige woon-Boten langs de oevers. De boothuizen zijn oud of nieuw maar spuuglelijk en niets van wat je verwacht. Misschien tijdens wedstrijden leuk maar dan mag uiteraard geen tour worden gevaren.
Ergste van alles dat je voor het geld de zelfde route ook weer terug vaart.
Ga van je geld wat anders leuks doen of lekker eten-drinken, zelfs Harry Potter kan dit niet mooi toveren.

Brilliant cruise. Skipper Nick was very informative and knowledgeable, but made the tour fun. We got to see many sights and took some brilliant photos.

We saw rowing crews on the water and crews getting ready to launch. We saw ducks, geese, people picnicking and others walking or cycling on the tow path along the river. The ride was smooth, the view was beautiful, the boat pilot and our guide were fun and had interesting tales to tell. We saw the boat houses for many of the colleges and some private rowing teams. The small boat was perfect for our seven passengers. We enjoyed a cup of tea from The Folly restaurant on our cruise. We were fortunate that on our last day in Oxford, the day of our cruise, the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. The boat is covered which makes the ride most pleasant.

Very pleasant and entertaining. Wear sensible shoes. Dress in layers. Bring your own water. Across the street at The Head of the River is a good spot to be dropped off and picked up by a taxi.

A most warm welcome awaited us and the booking process was easy with lots of choice of the cruises we could take. We went for just the ride. There were only 4 others onboard apart from us and the Captain. The boats are small but comfy and electric so environmentally friendly. Our Captain was really interesting and knowledgeable. Kept us entertained and pointed out lots of points of interest. We had lovely weather for it but I would definitely go again.
