What to Wear

You should dress for the weather for your Oxford Lunchtime Picnic River Cruise for Two; layers are always a good idea as the temperature can suddenly drop. It's always better to wear too much than too little, as extra clothes can always be removed, and your enjoyment can be impaired if you are too cold.

On sunny days, hats, sunglasses and sun cream are a good idea. Please avoid wearing very high heeled shoes as these can cause a risk to your safety. You should also try to ensure you bring a camera to capture the stunning scenes you will see.

Your lunch will be provided for you, but please do bear in mind that exact contents may differ and depend on availability.

Our trip was in the early days coming out of lockdown which might explain thet the arrival experience was all rather confused and we ended up waiting quite a long time to board the boat and cast off. Also we were expecting a picnic, but got an afternoon tea - so not what we thought. That said, the afternoon tea was fine and our skipper a total delight and we did enjoy the experience. So in many respects, were it not for confused organisation at the departure, we'd have probablt scored this a 4
