You will take part in a quintessentially British experience, boating on the River Thames. Away from the noise and bustle of the city center and fully immersed in the leafy suburbs of London you will learn about barges, locks, life on the river and riverside pubs! The cruise will start in Walton on Thames. After a cappuccino and a danish pastry in front of a wood burning stove I will show you around the boat and chat briefly about safety procedures while on board. With that out of the way we will set on our journey. This will be your chance to slow down, relax and adapt to the pace of life on the river. All seasons are very picturesque on the Thames and a good camera is a must! There will be plenty of soft drinks, coffee and snacks to keep you going.
