Guide To Canal & River Tours

We had a fantastic tour! For £12 an adult, and 45 minutes of our time we had a brilliant time. The balance of the tour being informative and also fun was perfectly struck and that was hugely down to the team of Adam and Dino. Their professionalism, knowledge and comedic timing made sure that we had a relaxing and safe journey whilst also learning about the history of Shakespeare and Stratford in a fun way that probably helped us to retain more of the information, to the point that the half of our group who went on the tour were able to relay the majority of the information back to the rest who didn’t fancy the journey. The ride was smooth as anything and if anyone is hesitant or not a fan of being on the water, I would urge them to try it as you wouldn’t even notice you’re on a boat. Highly recommend!

These vintage boats provide a pleasant 30 minute tour along the Avon. Our boat was built in 1912!

Slightly frustrated by the audio guide which I couldn’t get to read aloud anything other than one particular section. There was no spoken tour from the staff.

What an absolutely fantastic experience! Dino and Dan were our hosts. Dino stole the show and was funny, helpful and just so memorable. We loved cruising up the Avon river, seeing sights and it’s a guided tour so you learn a thing or 2. No need to book and it’s great value for money. We loved it!

Loved the hospitality. Bonus for us as they allowed dogs on board with free of cost. They offer budget tickets starting from £5 for 15 mins. No need to pre book as you have to pay by cash or card on board. They offer a leaflet and audio device to listen to the nearby spots.

Fantastic boat trip!

Friendly staff, seats on board are comfy and there is audio commentary on board so you don’t miss anything along the way. Takes about 40 minutes and experience the lock going both ways. Boat leaves about 10 past the hour. We pre-booked but you are able to walk up providing there is space. Visited on a weekday, fairly quiet trip so plenty of space to spread out. Very relaxing boat trip.

The guy who stands at the front is brilliant, very interactive and hilarious. Definitely brightened our day!
