It was a lovely evening cruise along the river which both me and my partner enjoyed, the staff were friendly and facilities where all in line with covid guidelines. The only thing I'd mention is the card machine wasn't working on our journey so we were unable to buy another glass of fizz as we had no cash, be sure to have some on you just in case.

The Best Proposal Ever.
Alfie
, May 2021
I really am at a loss for words but here goes...
When I paid £15 for a ticket I expected this trip to be cute and romantic but I wasn’t expecting much to be quite honest. I mean how far can £15 get you nowadays? Well I was beyond wrong.
I was meant to be in the Maldives and instead ended up in York (I’m a london boy for those wondering!) - very different and very random.
I planned on proposing to my boyfriend and figured a perfect 9pm trip along the canal would be gorgeous for that. As we got on the boat, we were immediately greeted by Kayleigh who was a total doll and provided us with complimentary prosecco as part of the ticket. I informed Kayleigh on the sly about my plan and she absolutely just went above and beyond in every way possible. (I really do apologise to the driver of the boat as I cannot remember his name!) Kayleigh accepted my request to film the proposal as we sail along in the sunset and she delivered in every way possible. With absolute discretion, Kayleigh and the lovely fella in control of the boat delivered some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, and I mean ever let alone for a boat trip. I am beyond words at how this turned out as the team even allowed me to play one song on the speaker to which I proposed to followed by the bigger cheers from the other passengers. The team ensured the view was absolutely perfect so the video and proposal was captured at the exact right moment and the pictures have come out beautiful. Kayleigh - I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you so much for making our journey truly unforgettable and for capturing a moment for us that we will cherish forever. Thank you both for going way above your job description and just being so lovely. On behalf of Stefan and myself - we really cannot thank you enough. To whom this may concern - get them a pay rise ASAP!!! Thank you so much! To any couple that is debating this or for anyone who wants to plan a pleasant surprise or even a proposal - this is it. Do it. Choose your time wisely and check the weather ahead - I was lucky to have the sunset.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
