About our Trip
Our first tour departs between 11:00 and 11:15am with subsequent tours departing approximately every hour thereafter. The last tour departs at around 4:10pm, although this may be earlier in winter months. The trips lasts for 40-45 minutes.
The unique trip has an amusing and light commentary which is interspersed with well known classical music to complement the stretch of the river. During the trip you will enjoy unparalleled views of the Theatre, Holy Trinity (Shakespeare's burial place) experience local water fowl and travel through one of the oldest and most iconic locks in the country, which fuelled the industrial revolution.
We can arrange earlier and later tours if sufficient numbers of passengers request them and also private hire. We cannot give exact tour times due to other boat traffic using the canal lock and there is a small chance you may incur a short delay if the canal lock is busy on the day. These delays are rare and usually very minimal at around 10-15 minutes, the time it takes a boat to negotiate the lock. Please allow time for this if you are on a very tight schedule. If you've got a couple of minutes have a look at the video below which shows Jennifer May leaving the lock and the beauty of the Avon from a bird's eye view.
