Great entertainment. Our “captain” Roy was brilliant. The time passed in a flash and we all left with smiling faces. We gained a great amount of history from the trip

No one should miss this trip when they visit Canterbury
We had an excellent trip with Oliver. He gave us lots of information about the history of Canterbury and the route followed by the boat. It was a unique experience and something that no visitor to Canterbury should miss.
