CLIENTS REVIEW / RATING AFTER DINNER CRUISE

"Now that we're back in UK... just a brief note to say Thank You for arranging the Canal du Midi Dinner cruise for us. We had a wonderful time.

The Captain and his wife were tremendous hosts....in fact, his wife went out of her way to explain everything to us in English (I speak some French, but my husband none).

She even managed to provide him with a dessert suitable for him (he's diabetic) although we hadn't ordered it in advance.... our sincere thanks for making this trip special for us."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
  • Can we have a longer cruise than 2.5 hours? YES! There's a CANAL LUNCH CRUISE - LONGER, MORE RELAXED : Spacious barge, (possibility for large private groups), 5-course lunch with wine.
  • If you would like a self-drive experience of the canal du midi, I can recommend a different option. Why not charter a self-drive boat? It’s a great way of spending a half-day! They are very easy to drive, very stable, and you get a short lesson before you leave the port.
    You can stand up and walk around and it’s safe for children (assuming they’re supervised) and you’ll have life-jackets. You can stop where you like, take a picnic and bottle of wine, or eat at a restaurant in one of the canalside restaurants, and all relax and enjoy yourselves.
    Here's the link for this : Self-drive Canal du Midi day-boat charter.
  • Can we do a lunch cruise - you only talk about dinner cruises from mid-June to mid-September!? ANSWER: I'm sorry, but things have changed this year. I can only offer you what my partners want to offer.
  • Can we buy more drink on board? ANSWER: Yes! ¼ litre of wine per person is included in the price. Extra bottles of wine are about €10. Pichets (jugs) of wine are about €5.00/litre or €3.50/half-litre. There’s even champagne for about €30 if you order in advance.
  • Is it 'formal'? No, it's fun!
  • How big are the boats? ANSWER: Boat One takes 12 passengers maximum and Boat Two takes 27 passengers maximum.
  • Can you organise a taxi for us, there and back? Yes, I just need to know where you are staying to give you a price. See my Languedoc taxi page for details.
  • Is there accessibility for disabled people? Some, please tell me what you need.
  • Is there a WC on board? Yes.
  • Is this cruise for old or young people? Both!
  • Where does it start from and finish? See my Lunch/Dinner Cruise Introduction page. I will send you a map and directions when you have made a reservation.
  • Does the boat return to the same port where it started from? Yes.
  • Which part of the Canal do we see? See my Lunch/Dinner Cruise Intro page.
  • Which days do the cruises run? Every day except Monday. But you should make a reservation in advance - these cruises are popular!

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:

"Dear Sara,
We had a wonderful trip yesterday with the Captain and his wife who were most kind.

A lovely meal and boat trip enjoyed by all, not bad for an age range of 5 to 79 years!

I will definitely recommend your website and trips this summer.

My son took some photos but my husband forgot to as he was so busy eating, talking and watching the world go by!

Thanks once again and I will be in touch in the not too distant future I'm sure."

- Kind regards, Sarah and family, Australia.
