I had to write and tell you what a wonderful time we had on one of your boats. We went from Union Wharf and found the whole experience fantastic. The standard of service shown by your staff and the quality of boat was amazing. None of us had ever been on a narrow boat before but by the time the training was over we felt confident to hit the canal. We had such a good time that even the weather did not matter. Will we be doing it again? Definitely YES! Will we go with you again? You Betcha!. Best regards, Tony Whitmore
