The boat was excellent, very well equipped and comfortable. College Cruisers were very helpful, friendly from the start and gave lots of good advice. Someone came with us for the first half an hour or so, so we felt confident about operating the boat. Heading up the windy twists and turns of a great river like the Thames was a great fun. I'd highly recommend College Cruisers. read less

Boat well equipped, very easy to cook good food for four adults onboard, made beer can chicken and halloumi fries. The showers were great too - boat layout well designed. Our trip along the Oxford canal was very scenic, beautiful countryside and wildlife, we saw Kingfishers along the canal. Everyone along the route was very friendly and helpful. We did so much yet did so little, it was really good fun for everyone. We had really good weather all week - t-shirts and shorts weather - it was brilliant. read less

First time on a narrowboat so a little nervous, but after a thorough introduction to canal boating by Sandy (lovely man) we were all feeling more confident and raring to go! The Nuffield boat was superb and enough space for 4 people. The Oxford Canal is an interesting trip, so relaxing and the scenery is amazing. There were plenty of locks and bridges for everyone to get involved. Quite a few country pubs to stop at along the way, all served great food and were very friendly.We are already looking into having another adventure with College Cruisers, but next time it will be for a week! Fantastic experience and highly recommend. More read less
