“A really enjoyable holiday- barge comfortable, crew exceptionally good, food and drink excellent, fellow passengers good company. A relaxing experience! Outward journey disrupted by Eurostar cancellation but Tour Manager, Mags Walsh, on her very first tour with GRJ deserves special recognition for getting us to our destination.
