    Lovely way to spend an hour, highly recommend, great value for money Andy our skipper offered good commentary, it’s not overly historical and certainly not boring

    Nice relaxing sail down the river and back. Commentary was clear and friendly. Would have liked a bit more information about the history of the City

    The driver was very informative and friendly, the only reason for not giving 5 stars is that some of the other people were irritating and too loud and over speaking the driver.

    A relaxing river cruise. Staff very friendly. Sat on top deck and relaxed in the sunshine. Not really for someone looking for a lot of sights and history of York.

    This was an hour well spent. We were lucky with the weather, but also with our captain and guide being so eloquent and informative without being too detailed. We learned some lovely insights into York and its history. Vessel was very clean and well maintained. Couldn't fault it. Only small point woukd be sound system being sometimes hard to hear but thats a minor point. Compliments again to our Guide. Truly excellent.

    The trip lasted approx an hour. There was a tour guide who was also the skipper. There were interesting facts about the river and architecture. We were upstairs on open top. Below is limited seating, as there is a small bar and toilet access.

    We were expecting to be given more information about the history of York considering there is so much history to tell! Very disappointing . Next time will go open too bus tour

  • 19-Aug-2023

    It was a nice float back and forth a short distance on the river, we expected to see more. Underwhelming, but if you want to rest your legs for a while on water….
