We had a lovely experience on this river cruise. Our tour guide Max was fantastic very knowledgeable on the area and gave some really fun facts and jokes through the tour. It was the highlight of our trip. Rain or shine or both in our case, highly recommend booking with them when visiting oxford.

The cruise was such a fun experience—I absolutely loved it. Max was incredibly cheerful and made the whole journey enjoyable. Even when it started raining, he took great care of everyone by keeping us warm with blankets. He explained everything so well and kept the vibe light and fun. Really glad to have had him!
Good one

We loved our river cruise today, and would like to make a special mention to our skipper Paul. He was so welcoming and friendly, very knowledgable about the area, and went above and beyond to make our trip the absolute best it could be. It was the best part of our day! We went in an electric boat called Bacchanalia, which was very pretty and comfortable. Because their boats are relatively small and electric powered, we were able to see parts of the river that aren't accessible to larger ones. I would 100% recommend this tour to others, it is great value for money and a lovely experience.
