Cruise down the Thames in Oxford during this cruise for two

River Cruise Experience Days: This fabulous Oxford Experience River Cruise for Two People is the perfect way to explore Oxford's historic beauty with a friend or family member - but it also makes a wonderfully special and unique experience gift for anyone with a spirit of adventure!

Whether you have never been to Oxford before and want to admire its famous sights or you are a local and just want to gain a new perspective on this fascinating city, this river cruise for two people can be enjoyed by just about anyone. This is a fantastic opportunity to climb aboard an elegant Edwardian style river boat and gently cruise down the tranquil River Thames, drifting along the university regatta course towards the charming Iffley village. This is one of the most vibrant and exciting stretches of the Thames; known locally as The Isis, you will pass by the ancient Folly Bridge, Christchurch College and Meadows and the university rowing houses. You will experience a real taste of Oxford river life from the comfort of an electrically propelled boat, ensuring an almost silent running as your cares float away down the river! Perfect for those people with limited time in Oxford, this 50 minute tour will show you the most famous landmarks that this beautiful city has to offer. There can be no better way to spend an hour than to enjoy the wonderful peace and quiet that a river cruise offers you - and the sensational views along the way are just an added bonus!

So, whether you want to enjoy this trip yourself as you explore all that Oxford has to offer, or would rather treat a lucky friend to an experience gift that they will never forget, nothing about this superb river cruise will disappoint. Absolutely fantastic...

What to Wear

You should dress for the weather for your Oxford Experience 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.

We had an amazing time on the boat and our guide, Joe was really relaxed and friendly which made for a lovely trip where we got to learn a lot about the local area. We only did the boat trip and loved it so would definitely consider booking a trip where we got a bit more time on the water and had some food ?

Excellent and relaxing. Well run with good commentary, giving you time to take in the scenery. Very pleasant guide, young guy who was very knowledgeable and polite. There's a cafe and restaurant on site with a gallery. An excellent way to spend an hour or so on the river you won't be disappointed. Recommended.

From start to finish, our river cruise was the perfect Oxford outing! Our skipper guide met us at the dock of a restaurant, and took us on an informative tour with a break in the middle. We got out at a local pub, purchased beers and snacks and hopped back on the boat, drinking and watching the city go by. The skipper knew all the local history and kept the tour entertaining without it being too dense with information. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oxford!

My friends and I loved this Oxford river cruise. Even though the weather was a bit grey, the river and surrounding area still looked beautiful and it was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Our skipper was fun and knowledgeable, and took us through the history of the area in an engaging way. We stopped halfway for a drink - from a pub that can only be accessed by foot, bicycle or boat! - which we enjoyed on our return journey. A nice mix of music was playing as we cruised back to the start point. A lovely experience.

Our Oxford River Cruise was 1st class. 2 Friends came with us and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The skipper was very informative and didn't spoil our trip by talking too much. Will certainly recommend it.

As previous reviewer just the two of us on board with a very nice guide who gave us loads of snippets of history on a calm trip. Shame there weren't more people as we thought he felt he had to keep talking which was good tour guiding but we felt we had to keep listening! Super reception despite The Folly base getting ready for a wedding cruise. We followed the trip with an absolutely fabulous lunch in The Folly.

We had an excellent lunch in the restaurant and we also very much enjoyed our trip on the Thames, which was relaxed and informative. All staff on the day were very helpful. I would rate the experience as a 5 but for the difficulty we experienced in booking the cruise with an Experience Days voucher, which recommended telephoning to book. The telephone was never answered, despite several attempts.

We shared a table with another couple which was not expected and they were reluctant to do so. This meant having to converse with them the whole time! The picnic provided was no comparison to the description on the website. We only had a small sandwich, a piece of bread, a pot of poached salmon, a pot of mackerel, a pot of Quiona salad and a piece of chocolate brownie. The 'Captain' saved the day, he was very informative!
