This was the highlight of our visit to Oxford. With out a doubt our experience was made all the better by our guide Chris (who only works on Mondays & Tuesdays). The picnic lunch was excellent value, filling & enjoyable. The commentary provided throughout by Chris was full of great stories about the area, the history etc… mixed with a great sense of humour. In our view Chris made it - a huge thank you from Brian & Kim (12 pm picnic cruise Monday 3 July)

We had the best time. We were lucky with the weather, but even more lucky to get whole boat to ourselves. I think our boatman and guide was called Nick, and he was great! Very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife on the river. Boat we had was gorgeous, lovely white leather seats, very comfortable! The picnic was nice too, all served in a lovely wicker basket. We were able to take alcoholic drinks form the Folly restaurant where you board. All in all, a great experience! Thank you Nick!

We did as Oxfordians do, and spent an hour or so at the Folly sipping gins and tonics pre-cruise. The boat held 12, and the others onboard were friendly and fun. The picnic hampers held a sweet, lovely, delicious picnic—quiche, scones, sweet butter, jam, and berries. The boat took us up the Thames, with a stop for a walk about, but we were having such a good time with our cruise mates, we stayed on board to chat. If you are considering this activity, go for it. We had a great time in a beautiful landscape.
