5.00Our Oxford river cruise was such a lovely experience and Max was a fantastic host throughout. We ended up having the boat to ourselves which made it feel really relaxed and personal, and we were even allowed to bring a drink on board which was a nice touch. Max shared loads of interesting facts and lesser-known stories about Oxford that we’d never heard before, which made the tour feel much more unique than a standard sightseeing trip. Overall, a great activity.
Highly recommend.

5.00Had a wonderful river cruise and good value for money. Boats are small and it makes the experience much more personable having less people on board. Paul was a great host and very welcoming. The cruise was the highlight of our trip to Oxford.
We had an absolutely fantastic river cruise experience.

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic river cruise experience. The boat was spotless and very well maintained, and the whole trip was excellent value for money. A special mention to our skipper, Henry, who was brilliant — knowledgeable, funny, engaging and made the whole experience really enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he does, and it made such a difference to the trip. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Oxford.
Nice
