Punting On The Cam - Very good trip. Informative & friendly punter Finn. Only downside was the pricing. Feel there should be one price for all rather than bartering before booking!

Highly recommended if you are thinking of a break in Cambridge - Brilliant experience punting with guide Hugh who was very knowledgable and entertaining with some great fun facts. We arrived and showed our booking to obtain a paper ticket and had a 30min wait for our slot which was for a 45min group punt. We took the opportunity to take a short walk as the embarkation point is very central. For the trip itself you sit on low benches covered with blankets that could seat up to three people. The river is very busy on this stretch through all of the colleges but Hugh manoeuvred the boat with ease and I got a sense that this was by far the best operator to choose. Overall very impressed and would highly recommend for an insight into the history of Cambridge.

Great! - We had a super time doing this. Our booking was easy at the site and we were fortunate to have the boat to ourselves (do it early!) Our guide was friendly, skilled and very knowledgable. Worth every penny. Thank you!

A Piece of Heaven on Earth - I finished attending a surgical conference at St. Catharine’s College, and a colleague recommended taking a chauffeured punt tour on the River Cam. I got on the last tour of the day. Absolutely loved it! As it was wintertime, all the people on the tour got individual blankets and hot water bottles. Even that personal touch made a difference.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cambridge - do this first. Gives one a rich perspective of the incredible history of Cambridge, and you’re able to make a ton of plans afterwards (e.g. visiting Wren Library).
Professional service, knowledgeable punters, amazing scenery - this tour has it all. Thank you!

Fab , Fun River Tour - Booked 2 boats for a group of 18 French people visiting.
Despite it being a chilly December day, with the help of the blankets and mulled wine we had a really great tour.
The 2 boys on each punt were excellent guides, both fun and informative at the same time.
Highly recommend
Thank you

Punting Great - Just finished a punt tour with Dillon, or Dylan, not entirely sure but that's not important right now. He was great, very funny, knowledgeable and personable. Lovely tour with blankets and a hot water bottle. Tremendous all round. Thanks!
