WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Well, for a start, it’s very quiet. This small, elegant river boat is electric and designed not to rattle you or the wildlife as you take the river route that Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell frequented when he wrote ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
Travel past quaint Osney Island, with its allotments and gardens, ancient Port Meadow and Godstow, taking in stunning views of Christ Church meadows, the university boathouses, and the regatta course. This is Oxford at its picturesque best, seen from the river, which puts a completely different focus on its famous landmarks. It’s leisurely, intimate (no more than 12 passengers per cruise), and includes a short stop-off at a historic riverside pub.

Product code: INAGYWhat a lovely river cruise this was. We went for the picnic cruise as it sounded delicious. The person guiding us was very good at his job and even threw in some comical chat to go with it. The picnic was delicious, had some potato salad, a quiche, finger sandwiches and two scones each with jam and cream. There was also Elderflower presse added in. The scenario was great and the ride very peaceful. Had a stop off at a lovely country pub for a quick drink before heading back. 3 hours in all which...
First time to Oxford and this was a wonderful way to explore the waterfront. The picnic basket fir lunch was absolutely fabulous and our captain was wonderful. Would absolutely recommend.
A very pleasant time was had by my son (23) and myself. We saw a side oOxford we had not previously seen and the picnic was lovely. Should have bought some wine from the Folly to take on board with us though
My favorite activity in Oxford. Take a picnic cruise with these people. Professional staff and great scenery. Our boat driver was very knowledgeable.
Chris was our captain for the trip he was a delight. Very knowledgeable of history in the area. He was a witty funny chap. The picnic was plentiful and delicious. The staff also at the Folly were welcoming and helpful. An amazing few hours spent in good company. Highly recommended.
The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. We sailed on Golden Slumbers and our skipper was Ellie. Ellie is a fantastic skipper and she is very informative about the local area and gave us fascinating insights. The picnic was scrumptious!!!! The scones were fresh(still slightly warm), the strawberries were fresh and sweet and the sandwiches were freshly made. All in all a perfect day!
