Arrived 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.

On a positive note, the captain was very nice and the cocktails were good. But the scenery is a bunch of dilapidated boats and boat houses. Its a very short ride as well.

The venue was easy to find and we were quickly seated on our boat. It was a lovely evening and we enjoyed the commentary and facts from Rory as we made our way down the river. The cocktails were delicious and the ride very comfortable.

Great way to see and learn more about Oxford’s history while cruising the river Thames. Worth the time and money.
