What To Expect
We start the experience with an introduction at City of Cambridge Rowing club. This is followed by a 30min session on the clubs rowing machines (ergs), working on timing and technique. We then put the technique into practice by taking a stable 'double' boat out and affixing this to the side of the river where participants are then able to perform the rowing stroke on the water. Once we feel confident that you are able to follow instructions carefully, both participants will get into the boat with their instructor. Quick picture moment and then its straight onto the river where you get a full hour of rowing on the River Cam!

5.00I had the best time rowing on the River Cam. I had rowed varsity years ago so l was able to take out a single. Omar snapped some terrific videos and photos. I appreciated Omar guiding me down the river while he biked alongside me. Rowing was definitely a highlight of my Britsh trip

5.00The club was very welcoming, not many clubs would allow visitors to go out in a single. Omar was very organised and arranged for me to be followed on the Cam with many photos and videos taken. Thanks Dave Adelaide South Australia

5.00Our towing experience in Cambridge with Omar could be described as extraordinary and unique. You could tell he truly cares to ensure that his customers receive proper instructions, especially for first-timers, and most importantly enjoy the experience. It was indeed a memorable time for us to row on the river Cam. One item can now be checked off the bucket list. Thank you Omar for a fun time. We will look you up again next time in Cambridge.
One of the best tourist experiences in Cambridge, highly recommend!

5.00It was a really great experience. Omar's kindness and helpfulness are unsurpassed. He is a very patient teacher prepared and I had no difficulty learning the technique. And he's also very nice. I had a wonderful and warm welcome. Highly recommended
