What you can expect

Sail down the University Regatta course, passing Christ Church Meadows, the University College Boat Houses, and other iconic landmarks on your way to Iffley Lock. Soak up the ambiance of this often busy and vibrant section of the river where training rowing crews, punts, and boats jostle for river space in a wonderful display of Oxford at play.

Wind through the lock at Iffley and admire the historical buildings that line the lush river banks. Beyond Iffley, slip into the tranquil water meadows that surround Oxford and catch a glimpse of wildlife hidden in the banks and overhanging willows. Turn for home at Rose Island, a beloved destination of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell on their river journeys.

Aboard the boat, savour the perfect afternoon tea provided by the renowned riverside restaurant, the Folly. The traditional menu typically includes a selection of finger sandwiches, homemade scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, a selection of cakes, tarts, or petit fours, and tea.

Not worth for the money spent!!! 188pounds for 2 adults and 2 kids! I asked about the car park and never got a reply. It was just a river cruise with not much interesting places to see on the way. Oxford is best covered by walking. I would have rather spent that much money getting inside the colleges, museum and church!

Unfortunately, we can't attend the activity because we couldn't find a car park nearby and couldn't make it on time. I hope the provider can mention that there is no parking nearby and how much is the walking distance from the nearest car park so I can better prepare the arrival time.

What a wonderful way to spend a few hours on the river. Excellent cream tea with an informative commentary as we headed along the river on an electric boat. Highly recommended. Thanks Paul

High tea on the high Thames was a wonderful experience. We had been in London earlier in the week and had seen restaurants offering high tea but we wanted something different and this was it. Thank you.
