Tours

What better way to travel through Birmingham than on a luxury Narrowboat. Relax and take a tour through Birmingham’s canal waterways, cruise the waters and discover one of the city’s attractions.

We run regular daily and weekly trips, as well as themed cruises. You’ll cruise on one of three passenger narrowboats and will depart from the International Convention Centre Quayside, opposite Brindley Place, the bustling heart of Birmingham.

You will cruise along quiet stretches of the canal which first brought commercial life to Birmingham and was the start of the first industrial revolution over two hundred years ago. Discover the city centre’s canals and their Industrial Heritage on one of Sherborne Wharf’s luxury passenger narrowboats.

The City Heritage Route covers the Oozells Street and Icknield Port loops of the original James Brindley Canal, a section of the Sir Thomas Telford’s Main Line and the area around the National Indoor Arena and the International Convention Centre before going through the Worcester Bar at Gas Street Basin and turning to disembark at the ICC.

Check the website for departure times throughout the day.

Hired Jericho for a 2 hour private cruise for my birthday, they sourced beers locally from Attic & we had an incredible time! The skipper & barman were very friendly, we had a great time!

A good trip along the canal which lasts about 65 minutes. There is a recorded commentary which gives some good information about Birmingham. There are also refreshments and a toilet on board.

Something happened to the boat so we waited for it to be fixed but the experience was nice. Audio guide and beautiful scenes around the Canal during the trip. Definitely recommend it to people who like Peaky Blinders and history of Birmingham/Wolverhampton etc 😉

Boat trip was nice, half surprised it turned up after reading some reviews. It was lovely to see the canal further down. Very old boat, needs refurb!! Very loud commentary. The taped ones I always find annoying. Would be much nice to have live commentary

Booked a ride on the canal barge at Sherborne Wharf, was an interesting tour of Birmingham canals the tour is pretty much automated, and lasts about 65 minutes. There is a bar on board to where you can purchase soft drinks and alcohol tea and coffee. Was a nice little day out.
