The best part of my trip to Stratford - It was a lovely trip along the river on a beautiful day! The staff were very friendly and welcoming too. It was lovely that they had outdoor seating as well as indoor. We didn’t need to book and they had boat trips running regularly throughout the day.

Birthday on the River Avon - A lovely trip along the river Avon. We chose to sit outside but could have been undercover. It was cold but at least it wasn’t raining. The boatmen were very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyable trip.

A really nice end to a really lovely weekend! - Really fun, relaxed and informative. A great way to end our really lovely weekend in Stunning Stratford-upon-Avon. The crew and skipper were terrific and the commentary, interspersed with snippets of classical music, were a delight. Thanks to all!!

Operator didn’t have the... - Operator didn’t have the means to scan the QR code, didn’t recognise Viator either but were very polite whilst they sorted it. Pleasant trip with interesting information via a hand held audio device. More information on the numbers on the device relating to a map would have been helpful - we weren’t given a map. I used our rewards, if I’d paid may have felt it wasn’t worth the £11 each.
