A boat trip along the Thames is a fine way to see Oxford and get a special sense of its history. Oxford River Cruises offers a selection of public cruises (the River Experience, Alice in Wonderland, Lunchtime Picnic Cruise), which depart from the restaurant at No1 Folly Bridge. You can join one of these, or order your own bespoke cruise, with or without food and wine, to enjoy with a group of friends. Their private boat hire (punts and rowing skiffs) operates from a base in Port Meadow, one of the city's loveliest open green spaces. The style is luxurious and intimate, and the stories, especially that of Oxford mathematician Lewis Carroll and his child friend Alice Liddell, turning Oxford's river into Wonderland, inspiring.
