Boats Once in the Canal Became Touring Boats
The River Thames, England
Boating along the River Thames will introduce you to historical places, from the old colleges of Oxford University to the royal (皇室的) palaces of Hampton Court and Windsor Castle, as well as to small English pleasures, such as local pubs and teahouses. For fans of Downton Abbey, the Magna Carta, which can hold eight guests at most, offers a special boat shaped around the show.

Southern Burgundy, France
Burgundy is a wine lovers’ paradise (天堂). Is there a better way to taste-test all the different wines that the place offers than to boat with a wine taster? Captain Jason Ashcroft runs the Saroche with his wife, chef Dawn Coles, and together they create delicious local wine and foods. Other interesting parts of the tour as you boat along the Canal de Bourgogne: a visit to a 15th-century hospital, Hospice de Beaune and wine-tasting at a vineyard (葡萄园).
