The boat ride itself was nice but the food wasn't great and was nothing like the pictures. The website said it was a buffet style lunch but we were served a small plate of curry and rice.

Hugely disappointing river cruise
Anthony_H

Very disappointed with the lunch time food selection. We were expecting a hot meal but instead we had a cold chicken salad. It was a very cold and rainy day and the wind blew in through the open doorway. Not impressed and not worth the money paid. Spoilt a romantic day. It wasn't anything like the travellers pictures

The staff were so very efficient and friendly. The lunch was delicious and by far exceeded our expectations. The commentary was interesting but could have been delivered a little slower. We would not hesitate to recommend the trip.

Enjoyable lunch cruise
Sara_T
, May 2021
Enjoyable time with excellent social distancing in place. We were on the top deck with great views but it was a scorching hot day and very warm under the canopy roof. Food was excellent. Service also excellent. The only criticism would be the lack of being able to hear the commentary, which was sparse and therefore we would not really class this as a commentated sightseeing cruise. It lasted 90 minutes which was the perfect length to eat and have an enjoyable time. Would recommend.
