Itinerary
Marvel at one of Bath's most iconic landmarks — the stunning horseshoe shaped Pulteney Weir on the River Avon. This elegant Georgian-era weir is a favourite photo stop, offering picture perfect views of the cascading water framed by the grand Pulteney Bridge
Admire one of Europe's most beautiful and unique bridges from the water. Seen from the river alongside the famous Pulteney Weir, you get a stunning panoramic view of this remarkable structure.
Take in the beauty of Bath from the River Avon itself. Flowing through the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage city, the Avon offers a unique and relaxing perspective of Bath's stunning Georgian architecture, green riverbanks, and famous landmarks, a view many visitors never get to experience
Catch a glimpse of one of Bath's most charming green spaces as you glide along the river. These beautifully maintained Victorian gardens sit right on the banks of the Avon.
Pass beneath North Parade Bridge, a sturdy Victorian stone bridge that has spanned the River Avon since 1836. A quieter but characterful landmark, a satisfying sense of journeying through the layers of Bath's history

Was such a lovely little trip learning more of the beautiful Bath! The guide tour was amazing, she gave us so much information!
Was great. And some good information given with views we passed. We know it was 30mins.. but would have been wonderful if they extended it for an hour. 30mins was not enough as enjoyed it so much.
Enjoyable half an hour trip. Worth doing!
Beautiful to be on the river. Our captain gave us an interesting commentary about the features we were passing and was friendly and helpful. The booking process was straightforward.
As I have limited mobility this was the perfect way to get an insight of Bath. The guide was very knowledgeable and had funny stories to tell. The only sad thing is the amount of graffiti on some these historic buildings. A real blight on our towns and cities.
Great trip . My mum is on crutches so it took a while to get down from car park but the guide was super supportive . We had 2 teens and my mum and everyone really enjoyed . Lovely clean boat , drinks on offer , interesting stories and beautiful view of Bath
Friendly staff and very informative. Lovely trip up the river to the Weir and back. Well worthwhile.
Fun, interesting & informative experience . Skipper of the boat was good value. Learned a lot of interesting facts about bath & about the ‘Jolly boat’ in 30 minutes.
Amazing trip with beautiful river views and a great guide. Highly recommend - we had a great time!
August 11th. Arrived at the boat at 1215 for a 1230 trip for 4 people booked with Viator. There was nobody there and the boat was deserted. Several other people also came, and on checking my phone I had an email cancelling the trip due to a mechanical problem with the boat. As I type on the 14th at 2300 I still haven’t received the payment back. Not very impressive.
