We were given great instruction on the basics of 'piloting' a narrowboat and off we went. The boats are comfortable and equipped with pretty much everything you'd need. We had a truly relaxed week together as a family, enjoying the ever changing scenery as we travelled leisurely between Oxford and Fenny Compton and back. Our first proper time spent on narrowboats, we doubt it will be the last read less

This is when College Cruisers steps in and made sure that the journey which we had with them will be a thing to remember. Everyone on board enjoyed the trip and we really like to go again with the same people. Above is after the trip, but before the trip, the staffs were soo friendly and it was very easy for us to handle and crack everything which we needed read less

The boat was spotless when we boarded and unlike previous experiences the kitchen was very well equipped. Although the freezer was great the fridge didn't manage so well, so watch the milk! Maybe it was because we turned the electrics off when the engine was not on? Anyway a very minor niggle. A particular great feature of the boat is the front hatch that pulls back far enough to enjoy dinner alfresco! The welcome pack from CC was superb and the detailed maps were a real help. The customer service was second to none and we can't wait to come back. Thank you!! Rob read less

We are not new to hiring and were most impressed with College Cruisers who couldn't have been more helpful both before and during our trip. The video about our particular boat emailed to us before the hire date was very good and answered most questions. The boat was comfortable, including excellent central heating which we only needed for a short while on colder days. The location of the hire base in central Oxford was also ideal for spending time exploring at the end of our holiday. Thanks again to the team at College Cruisers, we would love to be back one day and explore the Thames further downstream. read less

They are great quality & well maintained boats on this beautiful stretch of water. The team are on hand and helpful from the first contact when booking until drop off at the end of the trip. Thank you for a relaxing time. (the perfect Covoid break, vertically no contact with other humans!) read less
