It was a peaceful boat ride, we had a knowledgable tour guide, and the scenery was beautiful. What more can you ask for! sfd

My husband had done the 50 minute cruise the previous week and throughly recommended it, so I was quite excited. I booked in and then sat for a while by the river , waiting to board. No one told us that the boarding was for the short cruise which I had booked. However, a couple got on who wanted a cruise to Abingdon, and they had to get off again, having missed their boat for Abingdon. I was hoping for an informative and entertaining commentary, but although the university boat houses, Iffley Lock and a pub were pointed out, there wasn’t the usual commentary. The course ran alongside ChristChurch meadows for a while. There were many moored narrow boats, some of which were unsightly wrecks. The scenery was pleasant but I was a bit disappointed overall. I would be interested in doing the Abingdon cruise sometime.

This was the perfect short river cruise just before dusk. The guide was friendly and had great stories to tell about the history of Oxford as we boated down the Thames. The weather was superb so we didn’t need the provided blankets to avoid a chill, but the fact they were provided was lovely! Definitely would recommend and definitely would do again.

We had a lovely cruise along the Thames in Oxford. Our Captain was a delightful young lady who has an excellent personality and knowledge about the Thames or Isis as it’s know locally. The afternoon tea was very nice with plenty to eat. One point to be aware of, no toilet!

This was a brilliant trip and I would highly recommend it. From the initial welcome to being onboard with Paul our captain it was relaxed and fun with a fantastic picnic lunch. We had a small selection of sandwiches, fresh quiches, potato salad and fresh, warm scones with strawberries and cream! As the Folly Bridge restaurant provides the food it was all fantastically fresh. We cruised out along the river to the Perch pub for a drinks/leg stretch/toilet stop and then, as we came through the lock a little earlier, we were able to see the Oxford university rowing club buildings! There are not many things I would say that I would do again but this I would - very relaxing few hours on the water, enjoyable company (all other guests were great!) and we got the see areas o Oxford that I would never have ventured to. The weather was cool but was dry, we could not have asked for better.

Louie the skipper was very friendly and provided info on the boats along the Thames with lovely cocktails. It was interesting to see the University’s boathouses and we managed to dodge the rain. It rained afterwards. Overall, a great 40 mins activity to spend with friends.

Fabulous evening in late August cruising up the Isis. Captain Ash talked us through some of the history of the area and pointed out areas of interest. The picnic was delicious and we fitted in a short stop at the Perch for a swift refreshment 😀. It was a relaxing cruise in a beautiful setting - 3 hours passed very quickly!

Great trip. The picnic food was lovely, much better than expected. I would certainly recommend it if you are anywhere around the Oxford area.

Nice little side excursion while visiting London. Enjoyed the train ride, the walk and the boat ride. Would like to explore Oxford more

What an amazing day. Enjoyed every moment of it The Skipper Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable The Picnic basket was full of delicious yummy food. Quiche and scones were still warm. From the moment we boarded to the end of trip could not fault it Scenery beautiful lovely atmosphere Can’t wait to book another experience Thank you very much Oxford Cruises

This boat cruise was a present to us from a relation. As it was a long distance from our home we made it a 2-day visit to enjoy the rest of Oxford too. Luckily for us the day was sunny and not too windy, unlike the days before and after. The tour was about 50 minutes long and that included a 10 minute walk around at Iffley Lock (a beautiful location) for photos. The skipper (Nick?) gave us a running commentary and a few jokes. It was an excellent little cruise, although it probably wouldn't be so pleasant if the weather was poor.

Lovely afternoon on the river - delicious afternoon tea with entertaining and knowledgeable skipper/guide. Even saw a kingfisher!

We had been given this for our golden wedding anniversary and we had a really lovely afternoon, the weather was a little dodgy but it didn’t matter as the boat has a canopy, the picnic basket was delicious and the half way stop at the Perch was a very nice pub on the rivers edge, Paul was our skipper and he was very knowledgable and made the trip very enjoyable

We booked this lovely cruise for my mums 80th birthday, she had a wonderful time. Afternoon Tea was delicious with plenty of choice. The skipper was really great, knowledgeable and pointed out places of interest. Highly recommend a visit

We had such an unusual and interesting afternoon drifting on the river with a rather nice cream tea. The river through Oxford is so pretty. The skipper was great and informative, overall excellent value for money
