Relaxing poodle along the Thames past the Oxford rowing clubs. Not a great deal to see of Oxford, but afternoon tea 'afloat' was a nice way to kill a couple of hours. It was a little cold so it would have been nice to have more than one tea bag so we could have used the remaining hot water for another warm drink. The one thing that would stop me recommending this activity is the lack of welcome you get from Oxford Council if you have to drive. A chargable zero emission zone with such applauding signage until you are on top of the zone and no way to avoid it. The cruise operators said the nearest car park was the Westgate Centre, but if you can find a sign that directs to the entrance you will do better than I did.

A very pleasant, leisurely trip on the Thames - great weather helped - on a small boat equipped with tables and seating for approximately 12 people - during which we chatted with our neighboring passengers and got an overview of the area from our guide/captain.

I booked the wrong dates didn’t find out till we got there To our surprise they fitted us on that day was a lovely sunny day on the river with great food and the driver was loaded with knowledge for us to listen to about the history great trip highly recommended
