Would love to do a river trip one way maybe hop n off , stay overnite in b& b' s along the way and see sights along the Thames. Maybe Kew gardens, Greenwich, hampton court etc. any experiences or suggestions appreciated.
How about this: http://www.leboat.co.uk/holidays/destinations/england/the-thames/cruises/the-heart-of-england-cruise-0 or http://www.waterwaysholidays.com/
You will control your own progress and can stop almost anywhere you like. There is no requirement for previous experience with boats. We have tried it in Scotland and in Ireland, and we love it.
