Equipment & Clothing
You should dress for the weather for your Oxford Experience River Cruise for Two; layers are always a good idea, as the temperature can suddenly drop.

On sunny days, hats, sunglasses and sun cream are a good idea.
Please avoid wearing very high heeled shoes as these can cause a risk to your safety.
You should also try to ensure you bring a camera to capture the stunning scenes you will see.
