5.00My friends and I had the best time on the cocktail cruise. Our guide, Max, really made the experience special. He shared funny stories and lots of interesting information. The cocktails were yummy and they even let us swap out one drink for another when we couldn't find one on the list we liked. The scenery was so beautiful and it was a relaxing 40 minute ride. We would've stayed on it for hours if we could!
Perfect way to Relax and Unwind after Blenheim Palace

5.00Just the perfect relaxing way to end a busy day at Blenheim palace - the electric motor was so quiet we might have been paddling! Sipping cocktails traveling in a boat on the Thames bathed in sun setting light - well we all deserve such a treat in our lives
Very scenic.

5.00It was a really great experience, our tour guide was Captain Nick, he was so knowledgeable with interesting facts and average jokes 🤣, it was nice to see a bit of Oxford from the river for a change.
About an hour long calm...

5.00About an hour long calm ride in the Oxford river. Scenic, peaceful, and lovely drinks on a small wooden vessel.

4.00Arrived early and had a drink. Booked in and the captain collected us and showed us to our seats. Cocktails were bought out and we set off. Drinks were strong, possibly doubles. There were blankets on the boat if you needed one. Lovely being on water but not the prettiest boat ride. It was nice to see all the colleges boat houses with the school shields. The Folly restaurant where you meet was busy and food looked delicious.
