5.00I went on this trip with my wife and our dog, all of us really enjoyed it! We had 2 tour guides, they were helpful from the beginning, shared some facts and stories about the aqueduct and surrounding area while we were out in the canal. They also took photos of us and shared them straight away when we got back to our starting point. We had a lovely sunny weather that day! Amazing experience in such a beautiful place, this canoe trip is highly recommended!
Dangerous unsafe and definitely not professional business

1.00Warning to all they were refuse to let you wear a helmet, which is ridiculous for my family. No way, would we do this activity without proper equipment, and eally rude to us all and made us feel embarrassed. And mocks , in front of the other group , when we had our back turns. We have found plenty of other companies in the area This one is not acceptable.
Definitely do this!!!

Amazing Aqueduct experience

5.00It was great fun canoeing instead of walking across the aqueduct. Hugh was efficient and explained the brief history, supported our party encouraging novices like us through out the entire adventure. Well worth the money if you like tempting young children to join grown ups for a 2.5 HR trip.
Great morning on the canal

5.00Great set up before with plenty of info and then on the day. Hugh was our guide and was helpful, friendly and professional. He was attentive during the trip with plenty of info about the viaduct and history of the canal. He looked after the entire group with varying levels of experience and ability. Would highly recommend this and TNR. Then we walked along the canal for tea and cake!
Wonderful canoe trip over the aquaduct .
