Punting in Cambridge. It has to be done! - You can’t walk along much of the river bank because most of the land is owned by the colleges so a boat trip is really the only way to see the best bits of Cambridge. And we weren’t about to punt ourselves so….! Shout out to Omar who kept us dry(!) and amused.

Fabulous introduction to the beautiful city - Our first evening in the beautiful city we made a point of having a punt tour to take in all the vistas from the Cam perspective. And it was wonderful.
With a forthcoming punter passing on fascinating history and anecdotes and dealing admirably with queries it was a fabulous introduction to the city.
Passing by so many historic colleges including Kings Chapel plus famous bridges, it was a delightful and highly recommendable excursion.

Great tour - Our punter was Sam who had a fantastic knowledge and was able to answer questions that showed he was very capable to go off script. Really enjoyed it and recommend. We noticed some of the other companies the staff were not as smart.

Excellent - Excellent tour- really relaxing, scenic and informative. A lot of the other boats didn’t seem to be getting told anything- ours was a full history tour with interesting facts and stories. Our young guide Hector was lovely!
