We came across this tour by chance and can definitely recommend this boat tour. The guides were very nice and relaxed, a fun activity. We were also able to explore the lively Camden Market district.

We had a phenomenal time! What a great way to explore part of the city. We checked in with Jordan, who was very helpful and walked us through the map and navigating the boat.

A great experience and the boys were very accommodating as we went on an earlier trip than planned. A great hour on Camden Lock

Such a lovely trip with very chilled music. We had a great time!

Beware of the wind. And have enough weight for the boat.
