Great tour on the river with Matt! - I really enjoyed this tour — it was longer than I expected. Matt did a great job sharing information about the colleges’ history in a light and pleasant way. I even took notes on what he said once I got home.

The Best Way to See Cambridge – Ask for James! - We highly recommend Let's Go Punting for anyone visiting Cambridge! The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and truly the best way to see the beautiful college backs. We were so grateful that they thoughtfully provided blankets—it was a lovely touch that kept us comfortable. The highlight was definitely our guide, James. He is an absolute asset to the team! He was kind, friendly, and an amazing storyteller, explaining the history and architecture of Cambridge with incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. Thank you, James, for making our trip so special!

Lovely views, didn’t heard what guide was saying - The views were stunning. Very annoying to sit away from the direction of travel. Also heard about 30% of what the guide was saying. I’d still book again but just lower expectations to literally being pushed around in a boat rather than a tour.
