May 2024Really good tour of the river. We arrived at 10.15 for a 10.40am tour and were the first there. The lovely ticket lady explained that there would already be people on the boat from Kings Staith. She explained we could get off at Kings Staith or get off back at Lendal Bridge. Umbrellas were available if it rained. Great commentary about the wildlife, floods, history, names of parks. A really really good way to see York

March 2024Really lovely hour-long cruise up to St Peter's school and down past the millennium bridge. Our captain, Sophia, was excellent with the right level of information and humour. My only feedback: put out a tip bucket! Highly recommend.

June 2024Fabulous trip on the river with City Cruises. Our skipper was Sophie and she was delightful. Her commentary was excellent and she spoke so clearly we could hear and understand everything she said. So often on trips such as this, the commentary is recorded, or unclear, but she really made this trip. Thank you.

June 2024Lovely cruise of the York's river way. Enjoyed the information given to us. The sun was out so we had the best time
