Splendid tour

Joe was an excellent tour guide, providing lots of information about Iffley and all the sites, a few laughs and an insight into boat life along the Thames. You'll get to take in a few sites like the rowing clubs and lots of geese 🦆🦆 me and my partner has a great time. It's worth the £16 a head and they even brought the drinks we ordered to the boat for us.
Boat trip was very good...

My mother came to visit from Germany and she always wants to visit Oxford! We has done various walking tours previously so I was looking for something different. The tour was absolutely fantastic, great guide who shared local knowledge, always up for a joke. A wonderful, tranquil experience, a real alternative to the walking tours .

We were a group of 10 friends enjoying a reunion in Oxford 28th April. We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip up the river guided by Evie. She pointed out all the relevant sites and she was also quite entertaining.
We would definitely recommend this trip as a bit different.
As a tip try to suss out the pick up point in plenty of time. The Folly restaurant
looks very smart it is a pity we did not have time to eat there but we did have a coffee.
Fantastic trip

Mark the skipper was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable with blankets if we were cold and the option to take drinks on board. The Folly Restaurant (where you set off) is a beautiful place, making the whole experience fantastic.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
