4.00Get to the start point in plenty of time. Grab a drink from the bar and have a sip on the boat. Very relaxing and calming cruise. Keep your eyes out and see if you can spot a Muntjac. We were fortunate enough to see one on the side of The Thames near the lock.
Thanks Duncan

5.00The 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!
