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

The boat was in great condition, very clean, cozy and well equipped . Mike showed us over Keble, he took time to be sure we had all the information needed before safety settling off.
The Oxford Canal is very varied and beautiful. We had a lovely long weekend thank you all. read less

The trip gave my wife and I, daughter and partner the time to see each other and work as a team. The week flashed by and with great weather, a good boat and friendly stopping points. My wife had a broken ankle and we were promised by Carys that this wouldn't be a problem, in getting on and off or moving around on the boat and it wasn't.
Despite the dry summer, there was no real problems with water levels in the canal, although it did make picking the bountiful blackberries, sloes and wild hops a bit difficult. The wildlife was fantastic. thank you

There was all the equipment on board we needed. We were a little nervous about some of the reviews saying the canal was low on water and overgrown but it was only shallow between two locks and by going slow and sticking to the middle as we were advised it was no issue. And who can complain if the fillings has grown? It wasn't a problem at all. So great boat, great support and an amazing weekend. The weather helped but even if it had rained we would have had a great time. Big thanks to college cruisers who made it for us. read less
