5.00Our afternoon on the water was a perfect way to end our girls trip in Oxford. We got to see spectacular views along the University Regatta Course and our amazing tour guides showed us a glimpse of what life is like along the course. If you’re looking for a relaxing way to see how beautiful Oxford is then this is definitely it!
Very relaxing and Informative

5.00My tour guide was awesome (I can’t remember exactly his name, I believe it was Matthew) He gave us some really cool facts about Oxford college culture and the river which I really enjoyed. The tour was amazing.
Lovely way to spend an hour on the water with entertaining commentary.

5.00Many thanks to skipper Nick for a highly entertaining and informative trip on the river. Easy access to a comfortable and quiet boat accommodating about a dozen people. The restaurant at Folly Bridge is well worth a visit for coffee or lunch before or after your trip.
Good experience

3.00Enjoyed the ride . Skipper was very knowledgeable and kept us well informed about history of Oxford. However the ride was terribly noisy as there were a group of ladies who were very rowdy . Unfortunately you don't get to chose who's on the boat with you as it's not a private tour. Nevertheless very nice solo day out :)
The cruise is very...
