A good trip
The York lunch River Cruise was well organised. The staff were friendly, the lunch was good and we had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Only one party was allowed to board the vessel at a time. The tables were well spaced out and there were just 2 people to a 4 seater table.

A Cruise on the Ouse!
Reservation was easy. Boarding was professional and fuss free. Social distancing was very good. Lunch was served piping hot and very tasty. Maybe just a little too much commentary during the journey?
