'I would recommend this holiday to anyone who wants to take a dog with them, it's ideal and there are many boaters who take their pets with them. It is an extremely sociable holiday, as you meet people along the canal, at locks, and in the village pubs. Everyone we met was so friendly, and there is always someone around who is more than happy to help, should you be uncertain what to do at a bridge or lock.'

'A very relaxing holiday and along the way the people you meet on the canals are very helpful and informative. The inns serve very good food and the lock keepers are really good at assisting you through the possible hazards one may encounter within the locks, with tips on safety to help you along the canal system. In fact the people one meets on the canals are very friendly. The sights one sees are breathtaking, the countryside is beautiful and as one passes through the counties along the way one cannot help feeling relaxed and being part of the tranquility.'
