With summer on its way, what better way to enjoy the sunshine than by taking your group on a sightseeing boat trip? Here are some you could choose from…
Stay afloat
Guildford is the historic and vibrant County Town of Surrey and sits on the beautiful River Wey. This ancient waterway passes through Guildford and carries people into the heart of the countryside aboard one of two purpose-built trip boats operating from Guildford Boat House, in the centre of the town. The “Harry Stevens” boat transports you from town straight into picturesque rural Surrey, while “Alfred Leroy” offers the pleasure of a meal afloat with your group. Their visiting season runs from Easter to October.
