we was a party of 4 I've lived in Manchester all my lift and never seen some of places we passed until taking this tour, i totally recommend doing this boat tour you can enjoy a drink from the bar while listening to the audio recording about the history of building / areas the total tour time is only 1 hour so its not overpowering its a great break of a day out

Beautiful relaxing cruise, commentary was informative without being too intrusive. My only thought would be the placement of the chairs on the upper deck. They might be more comfortable and make viewing easier if they were placed centrally and faced outward to the passing canal.

This was our first experience on the river cruise and we can't wait to return. We had an outstanding experience with superb staff so we couldn't have wished for a better evening. Can't thank the staff enough. We'd highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Yes we all really enjoyed it

zero explanation on the rivers and the canals in the Manchester area.

The tour was great, just the right level of facts!
