A surprisingly nice evening
Awilda_R

My husband and I accompanied our daughter on her first trip abroad as she prepared to do a term at Oxford. That was special enough but we really wanted to do something special for her 21st birthday as she would turn 21 the week we arrived. I booked the cruise and dinner before leaving and didn’t really know what to expect, especially from a 30-minute river cruise. The evening was a very nice surprise. “Skipper Nick” is very funny and engaging. He definitely made the cruise interesting and fun. The dinner too exceeded our expectations. One of the best meals we had, if not the best, while in Oxford.

The cruise was lovely with an entertaining guide but half an hour is too short. Dinner was good but very overpriced, service was very slow, and overall it was just too much money for what it was.

What a nice venue for dinner! The food was delicious and the service excellent! The Sundowner Cruise is only 30 minutes, which was hard to tell from the description, however the boat was comfortable and small enough to allow us to talk to some of the other visitors. The tour guide had no formal presentation. She requested that people ask questions if they wanted to know something. I would have liked to have it be a bit longer with some more explanations of homes and areas we passed. Even on a brisk fall night, it was a tour I'd recommend.

The boat ride was nice but very quiet on board. We thought the skipper might chat about the things we were passing. Was not sure about the dinner, but, pleasantly surprised. The meal was delicious and great presentation. We upgraded on the first course and got the scallops, fantastic! Desserts were amazing. So happy we had to walk 20 minutes back to our hotel to walk off dinner.
