We loved the idea of a picnic on the river though the weather on the day was grey and dull.Due to my bad organisation we turned up on the wrong day!- all credit to the "skipper" and caterers who were able to cope at short notice. The picnic was sumptuous-a long way from the jam sandwiches and pop of one's... More

We were booked for a river trip yesterday. As it turned out, the weather was not that good. When we arrived, we were very courteously greeted and the trip consisted of us and one other couple, lasting about two hours. The small boat was captained by Jan. He was friendly and knowledgeably answered questions put to him along the route.... More

We booked this as a Groupon and got a two for one deal, to be honest as I'd never tried a Groupon before it was my way of trying them out cheaply, and a great success it was too. Our trip was to be a two and a half hour trip from central Oxford up the Thames ( or Isis... More

The captain (Jan) was very knowledgable and happy to expand on questions asked. The boat was comfortable and blankets were provided if needed. The river trip was 2 hours long and to be honest that was more than enough as there was very little to see. It would have been much more interesting if we had gone through Oxford city... More

Having been given a gift certificate for a river cruises last Christmas, which sat in a draw for many months, we finally got around to booking and taking the cruise in late October. We went on the 2.5 hour cruise with a lunch provided. Given the time of year we were a little trepidatious about spending so long out on... More

I went on the Oxford Experience Cruise with my mum, £12 each and its advertised on their website as "Our Most Popular Sightseeing Tour"!!! Its staggering if thats the case, because its the most boring cruise I have ever been in. There was nothing beautiful to look at, the driver was trying to be funny at times which worked but... More

Booked 10 Berth Barge through AngloWelsh and picked up at Eynsham. Barge facilities really good, and staff at base very friendly and informative. Oxford is a good choice as not so far away and has good shopping/sights to see and plenty of nice restaurants along the route. White Hart at Wolvercote really good food/hospitality. Friday till Monday good amount of... More

27th October 2012 We had an excellent time on this cruise. We have done a lot of river cruises both in this country and abroad but this was one of the best we have ever done. Being a small boat with only 11 or so passengers it was very personel with a very nice and informative skipper. The food was... More
