Great

Guide: Roy

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

Well worth taking this trip, the guide gave an excellent commentary & was able to answer our questions. It was so interesting to learn about the history of Canterbury & something of what life was like in the Medieval times

No one should miss this trip when they visit Canterbury

Guide: Oliver

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.

Excellent river tour

Our tour guide was very informative and gave us lots of interesting facts. The tour takes you to a part of Canterbury that you wouldn’t normally see. Well worth the money.
