Great for all ages

As a family it was perfect. Emily was superb and very safety conscious. The captain let the kids have a turn at steering. Nice clear commentary. A great outing highly recommend. Very relaxing.

Dear Bev, Thank you for the wonderful review, and for choosing to cruise with us! We’re so glad the cruise was perfect for your family, and we love giving little captains a chance to steer the boat!

Excellent cruise - well worth it

Great cruise with lovely staff who took great photos for us. Wasn't lucky enough to see dolphins but still an enjoyable 1.5hrs on the water. Complimentary biscuits/cake and tea/coffee was a nice touch. Have previously done the Hopo one and preferred this one as it is a proper cruise rather than ferry service.

Great way to spend a morning

Really enjoyed the morning river cruise. It is a friendly family run business. The cruise was educational and entertaining, learning about the homes and boats of the rich and famous. The skipper had a great sense of humour which added to the enjoyment. There were complimentary teas/coffees/biscuits and cakes which were welcome. There was a bar on board and the prices were very reasonable. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
