Excellent and great experience - We were a party of 12 including a 4 month old baby. It was well organised, timely and they waited patiently to whilst we had to take the 5 yr old for a bathroom break just before starting our trip. The host was a 2nd yr student called James and he was very informative and answered all our questions. We were going to book with another punting company but this was much more cost effective. Hugely recommend to use ‘Let’s go punting’ and you will not be disappointed. 5 out of 5.
