The cruise was great. You can buy drinks at the restaurant and take them on the boat, which is nice.

Hello. I'm sorry to hear about this disappointment. All our tickets are issued for fixed departure times. If you booked via Viator or Tripadvisor I would suggest that you contact them directly as it sounds as though an error may have been made at their end and they should be able to refund you. Many thanks.

This was a very nice boat trip down the Thames. Just under an hour, with very nice scenery. You will like this if you are looking for a short boat trip.

We greatly enjoyed our 50 minute...

We greatly enjoyed our 50 minute river tour in Oxford as a our last activity before leaving town. Our guide was informative and entertaining about the buildings and colleges along the river's edge as well as the world of regatta racing, especially in Oxford. The time flew by and felt as though we only had 20 quick minutes instead of the actual time of nearly an hour. We took the 11 a.m. tour, and were immediately immersed in another world away from traffic and city noise. We were also impressed by the guide and the restaurant manager who were very helpful in arranging a taxi for us to make a tight connection at the train station which had been complicated by the local road construction and closures. The boat was clean and well cared for, blankets were available in case anyone needed a cover when the breeze picked up...the skipper thought of everything!
