Just came back from a few days on the Oxford canal. Had to hire a boat at the last minute because the boat we had intended to use had a coot's nest on the rudder and couldn't be moved. Carys and her team at College Cruisers were superb. Friendly and very helpful, they were able to get a boat ready for us with very little notice. The boat itself was great (Ballior) and had everything we needed. It was very clean and well maintained. The pick-up and drop-off process was very smooth. Can highly recommend College Cruisers.

Worth also trying Oxford River Cruises www.oxfordrivercruises.com. We hired a lovely electric boat with driver for the day last summer.

We recently hired a narrow boat called Magdalen from College Cruisers in Combe Road [Jericho, off Canal Street - Ed.], Oxford. The boat was excellent, in very good condition and the staff who took care of us did a great job. In fact, the initial briefing could not have been more clear or more comprehensive. We would be happy to recommend the company.

Best wishes,
