"...the river's magical atmosphere was working its wonders on our boating party. Some of that was down to the vessal itself: Oxford River Cruises' replica of an elegant 1908 river launch..."

I would highly recommend your cruises to friends and family.
"...it was a great fun and everybody had had a brilliant time, despite the rain!"
Emma Rutter, Oxford
"It went brilliantly and everybody loved the trip, four of us are local to the Oxford area but for the rest it was completely new and we had a super time. You were both so gracious and helped us getting all our picnic items and ourselves (!) on and off the boat and I simply wanted to thank you very much and to say that we would love to do it again."
Ruth Jones, Wallingford
" Just wanted to say quickly that the cruise was wonderful! Mark was fantastic and we really enjoyed spending the afternoon on the water with him. It was absolutely perfect (even the hour of rain wasn't a problem, as we were in the Trout for nearly the whole downpour!) and Mark went above and beyond."
Jenna Kozerowitz, USA

"I would just like to take this oppertunity to thank you for a truly wonderful day. My family and friends had a great day and lunch was excellent. I will certainly recommend your services to all of my friends!!! Thank you again for making our day perfect."
Eileen Collins, Liverpool
"What a wonderful way to spend a summer's evening. Everything about the trip was perfect and helped my husband celebrate his birthday in a special way. The weather, food, and wine were all perfect. It was all very genteel and very civilised and a welcome break from the rat race. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone and, indeed, have given your details to several interested parties."
Sue Cartwright, Tamworth
"It was a wonderful end to a super day and you could not have done anything better for us. I have already recommended you to a couple of friends and I hope that in due course they will contact you."
Jenny Collier, London
A highlight of our stay in England!
"Thanks very much for a very enjoyable evening, which was a perfect end to our celebration. The boat trip was superb, and we very much appreciated the additional efforts regarding the food. I must also commend the skipper for the manner in which he performed his role as host. We would certainly recommend the experience."
Allen Zimbler, London
"Just wanted to send a quick note thanking you for the wonderful cruise. That was, without a doubt, the most enjoyable cruise we have been on, and we have both taken a few in the states. Your food was delicious, the wine excellent and the company was extremely enjoyable. The history of Alice In Wonderland was very educational and, as a teacher, I loved that! Thanks again for such a nice time."
Mollie Gill, Ohio, USA
"An evening cruise on the Thames from Oxford was just the most idyllic way to spend a glorious summers evening in July. Our party had the boat all to ourselves and tucking into the wonderful array of delicious food with a glass of wine was just about perfect. Our skipper provided some excellent, informative and witty conversation throughout. A brief stop and a walk to the pub before returning and just having left enough room for a slice of gloriously rich and definitely not low calorie cheesecake. As the sun began to set we returned to Oxford having enjoyed one of the most memorable evenings for many a year. This trip is highly recommended, do it, you will neither regret or forget it, and take plenty of pictures, the trip affords some wonderful opportunities to do so."
Ian & Trish Manassie, Blackpool
"Thank you very much for a perfect Mad Hatter's Tea Party this Saturday - the feedback from all 12 of us on board was that it was the highlight of the weekend, especially the champagne in teacups! We'll be recommending Oxford River Cruises to others."
Hannah Gregory, London
...this river cruise is a must...
"We can describe our evening dinner trip in one word - perfect. The boat was lovely & well presented. The food was excellent, fresh & plentiful & our skipper was great. We will all be highly recommending it. Thanks for a great time & well done."
Nikki Watkins, BLG, Oxford
"Thank you so much for a wonderful boat trip on Saturday. We all absolutely loved it - and everything was perfect - the food, the weather, the gramophone etc. "
Ali Friedlein, Essex
"Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic river cruise. We all really enjoyed it, and it really was one of the highlights of my mums trip. Thank you for making it special."
Claire Smart, Oxford

...just the most idyllic way to spend a glorious summers evening...

William Henderson, Abingdon
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much we all enjoyed our day on the river. The boat was lovely and the cruise was very relaxing. You even managed the weather!"
Lisette Scott, Oxford

Hannah Dennison, Los Angeles, USA
"The trip was gorgeous and the boat very comfortable and cosy! The river in Oxford is very beautiful. Picnic lunch was great, everything so fresh and tasty, it was a very complete meal!"
Maria Simoes, Portugal
A day to keep forever in your memory!
"We had a great day out on the river. I can't think of a better way to explore the river and surrounding areas. I think what made it great was the fact that it was just our party on the boat for the day and obviously the skippers friendly and helpful manner."
Francois Lotz , London
"A brilliant day! what more could you want, sophisticated, serene, different and private. the perfect choice and definitely recommended"
Ally Smith, Oxford
"Thank you for such an enjoyable evening, everyone has passed on their thanks, it was certainly different to have dinner served on the river rather than in a restaurant as we so often do on birthdays. Food and wine were ideal for such an occasion. Once again many thanks, we will certainly be recommending you to others."
Jeremy Barough, Oxford
"Thank you so much for a wonderful day! A lovely boat and a brilliant and friendly service. My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you once again."
Caroline Newton, Oxford
"If you are visiting Oxford for work, conference, or leisure, this river cruise is a must. It truly captured for me the serenity and grace of the town and its history - together with wine and fine company. Highly recommended."
Pat Pierce, Canada
The trip was gorgeous and the boat very comfortable and cosy!
"There's nothing quite like cruising up the river, glass in hand as the sun sets. A highlight of our stay in England!"
Caroline de Steiger, Melbourne, Australia
"What a nice way to spend a birthday, a peaceful trip up the river with some wonderful food / wine and of course company. A truly royal experience. Professional attention to detail was ever present. We look forward to the next occasion."
David Ragan, Sandhurst
"What a beautiful peaceful trip, just gliding up the river with a glass of wine in one hand.... watching the swans and herons while the cows wade in the soft mud to cool themselves on a hot, lazy afternoon -- a feeling of timelessness comes over you. Who cares about the stresses of the world! Just messing about in a boat is all you need ... A day to keep forever in your memory!"
Pamela McCartney, Australia
