"The trip offers excellent value as it provides the experience of passing through a working lock between the canal basin and river Avon. The 45 min trip gently passed along the Avon with an interesting commentary (English) accompanied by well chosen music from Elgar and those famous Stratford swans. Couldn't wish for a better treat."
