Scott and the team were amazing and this is a fantastic way to learn about the local history in the area... We planned it in with a visit to the sea life centre ... I will be back!!!

This canal boat 1 hour cruise was a perfect way to find out more about the history and current day life on the canals. Scott was a great raconteur and made our trip fun and interesting. The boat is clean and you can buy drinks (alcohol too) and snacks to be enjoyed while on the tour. Would not recommend for disabled or those passengers who have mobility issues as you have to board the boat by going down 4 steps backwards. Otherwise the boat is easy to move around once on board.

Theresa and the skipper did an outstanding job touring us around. A very enthousiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining guide with a bit of an adversion to a property development company, eh.

Bardzo ciekawa wycieczka, Theresa świetnie opowiada o kanałach i ich roli w historii miasta. Cena - £8 dorosły i £6 dziecko - za godzinny rejs bardzo adekwatna. Na pokładzie można kupić wodę, czy inne napoje. Polecam!
