The process of buying tickets was so simple. Do NOT forget your jumper - lol! Staff was amazing. Dave, our skipper and guide, was wonderful and funny. The cruise itself was tranquil and scenic. Couldn't have had a better time!

The cruise was great, it lasted about an hour, it was very hot and umbrella's was supplied, we got to learn some interesting facts about York, we didn't go for the fish and chips but everyone else enjoyed them, drinks can be purchased from the bar, all the staff was lovely and nothing was too much trouble.

The scenery was lovely and the commentary amusing, however, I missed a far bit of the cruise as I was overcharged for a drink, (the staff were aware but did nothing about it until I complained) so it took a while to sort out refunds and me having to pay again. It just tainted the experience.

Discover York’s iconic riverside landmarks and hidden medieval gems from a unique water-level vantage point away from the city crowds.

Forget pre-recorded tapes; enjoy live, witty, and informative commentary from our local skippers, packed with tales of York’s Roman and Viking past.

This was an enjoyable tour on a nice boat. I found the commentary hard to understand at times and thought we'd be able to see a few more city sights from the boat - you largely see riverbank.
