We were a group of 10 friends enjoying a reunion in Oxford 28th April. We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip up the river guided by Evie. She pointed out all the relevant sites and she was also quite entertaining. We would definitely recommend this trip as a bit different. As a tip try to suss out the pick up point in plenty of time. The Folly restaurant looks very smart it is a pity we did not have time to eat there but we did have a coffee.

Mark the skipper was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable with blankets if we were cold and the option to take drinks on board. The Folly Restaurant (where you set off) is a beautiful place, making the whole experience fantastic.
