Really nice. If you're going on a good day, it's definitely better to pre-book if you want to do the punting. The punting queue was quite long, so we opted for self-hire rowing, which was fun. However, not a lot of guidance was given. A bit expensive for what it was to be fair, but it's good for the experience.

A really fun time. Get a chauffeured boat and you will have a great time and hear some good stories. Easy to book and find on the river

Fantastic punting experience in Oxford! This boat rental is easy to find. Located under the bridge. Weather is perfect today, clear blue sky with gentle breeze. Since it was a holiday, we had to queue for about 5 to 10 mins. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They handled the registration and payment quickly. The rate is £35 per hour, and it’s charged proportionally for extra time hours. Once you choose your boat, you can set off immediately. As soon as you get on the river, you’ll be surrounded by a beautiful and elegant atmosphere full of classical and literary charm. The scenery along the way is perfect for taking photos. We rented a pedal boat, which moves faster, allowing us to explore farther places. One hour felt just right for a relaxing tour. Along the riverbanks, there are jogging paths, cafés, and you can enjoy lovely views of historic buildings such as old castles and churches. The boarding and disembarking point is right next to a small convenience store where you can buy snacks or drinks. Highly recommended — especially on a beautiful sunny day!

Visited today (4th April 2026). We went for the £50 chauffeur option, as I didn’t trust my balance enough not to end up in the river if I’d have attempted punting! It was good value, especially as you get 30 minutes on the water with your own personal tour guide. Even though it was a very windy day (Storm Dave), we thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely something I’d recommend.
