Lovely spring evening hour - A thoroughly lovely hour on the river. Very entertaining Captain in Andy. Very intuitive on the river bank activities 🤭. Reasonable priced, drinks on board also a good price. Was beautiful weather and an alternative evening activity. We were a group of 6 friends. Thank you

Lovey pre meal evening river trip - What a fantastic and pleasurable evening trip on the Ouze. The great weather helped tremendously of course. Well captained and interesting commentary. Bar was more than adequate. Easy to find and good access. Recommended

Relaxing, enjoyable river boat cruise - Lovely relaxing trip, with beautiful riverside views and brief historical information as well as reasonably priced drinks. Friendly professional staff and lots of available seating both inside and out, We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend it.

A nice cruise but not quite as advertised! - We enjoyed the cruise! If you're just wanting a cruise then I'm sure any of the boats would do. Only gave 4 * as even though we enjoyed the cruise I wouldn't say it was fully as advertised. Hardly any drinks, bar was bare and limited choice especially for a "happy hour" cruise. We were promised commentary but hardly any but think they had technical issues. It also advertised activities packs for children but none to be seen! Maybe just go for a regular cruise instead if it's cheaper 😊

Good experience on a sunny day - We were lucky with a sunny evening and enjoyed the trip overall. Nice to have lovely river views of York. However the live tour commentary was fairly minimal and we couldn’t really hear him.

Not much to see - The trip was booked easily enough and the boat itself and crew were fine but it only goes up the river for about a mile most of which is in the countryside so not much to see other than the riverbank it turns and comes back again seeing the same thing Then goes maybe a mile in the other direction of the starting point some of the history is interesting but don’t be expecting a river cruise to compare with maybe New York
