    Overall enjoyed the cruise. Started on time and lasted about an hour. Cruise was tidy and there are also bins for any rubbish. Only thing is they are old and worn.

    Starting point for a very enjoyable river cruise taking in the sights of York at a relaxed pace. The boat is the best way to see the city's many bridges, and offers a different perspective on the historic buildings lining the waterside. The tour guide was humorous and informative. The cruise lasted about an hour, and prices were reasonable - check online for current rates or buy tickets on the day. Plenty of seating available on the boats.

    We took the 45 minute sightseeing cruise. Ok but not much to see with bushes blocking some views and nothing too special viewed along the way.
