I booked this because of the great reviews. I wasn't impressed it was worth half the price paid. The commentary was not as great as described. I booked it because of the reviews saying it was really good and funny - reminding me of a similar tour I have been on in the past - it was not that good. The commentary is a prerecorded tape, that is played a a volume which required you to really listen hard to hear it. Funny - the odd bit yes, but not sufficient to remember it in the way. The boat itself was very basic, for the amount of money they are charging it should be refurbished. It would be nice to wipe the seats after rain, have blankets available so it is comfortable to sit outside - it is an evening cruise running in the winter.

Second time we have been to York and done this trip.. such an enjoyable experience. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable about York.. they make the tour fun and interesting. Lots of lovely sights to see along the way too. Would highly recommend it. Very relaxing.. also a much needed sit gown and rest after all the walking round York 😊
Highly recommended

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.
