The booking process was made simple by the incredibly welcoming team.
Spoke to Trudy, very lovely lady! Gave me lots of information and answered any questions I had, looking forward to our trip 😊
Remarkably simple compared to other booking forms. I requested the size and date and voila! Form completed satisfactorily. I then telephoned your agent Mark who was extremely helpful and efficient.
Excellent internet presentation. Found everything I wanted to know. Very easy to handle and detailed. Made the selection of the route, the boat etc easy.
Trudi gave me excellent service and helped me out by providing payment details other than on a card.
We booked the boat we thought would suit our needs and the next morning I got the confirmation phone call and all the necessary information. Payment was made and an easy trouble free experience was a pleasure to remember.
Really helpful staff, could not have done more to help. Thank you Mark.
Good, easy to use website, easy to navigate. Response to booking was prompt within working hours. Only problem was delay in email confirmation due to incorrect address
Really friendly staff that made the booking process easy..
After initial "hiccup" everything went smoothly.
Very helpful, informative staff, who were polite and friendly.
Trudi & Amy very helpful and knowledgeable. All questions and requests dealt with quickly. Good website too. Everything clearly explained.
We are complete boating beginners Lesley was very informative and put our mind at ease.
First time on a narrow boat on the British canals. We received excellent help choosing the perfect spot for our holiday. We had 8 days in all and had a wonderful time on the Stratford up on Avon and The Grand Canal. All the locks where both hard work and great fun. We would like to do it again.
Waterways were brilliant to deal with. My initial email enquiry was answered by the next day, and all emails thereafter. All my requests were taken into account, and a change of date and time was accommodated. Thanks Waterways, and especially Trudi who was the one who I was dealing with.
Quick and friendly response to questions plus and easy and quick bookingprocess.
Very clear and simple instructions for making a booking request online. Followed up with a phone call from the company; the lady who dealt with my booking was very polite and helpful, giving full information about what was included in the reservation and all terms and conditions etc.. She also took time to find out answer to a question I had regarding particular facilities; she made enquiries with the boat operator on my behalf and then phoned me back within half an hour with the answer.
