Reviews

  • Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
  • An enjoyable day! - Had a wonderful day riding on the steam railway and a boat trip along the River Dart. Excellent scenery along the coast. The ferry was quick and efficient.
  • Brilliant! - We had to write to tell you what a thoroughly enjoyable trip we had on your "Steam Train & Cruise". The train was brilliant and the cruise was a revelation. We will be back to experience it again. Thank you.
