What other boaters have said
Seema Dutta said:
Wonderful way to see the countryside! You can't be in a rush on a trip like this, so we just meandered down the Canal and stopped whenever and wherever we wanted. Excellent food and wine and all the people we met were great! 
Mary Mcginley Said:
The receptionist was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Instructions, explanations and tuition first rate. The manual and route information very good. We were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
