Great Experience - must do in Cambridge - Highly recommend using Traditional Punting. Stress free experience from booking, receiving confirmation, through to the trip itself. The departure point is a short walking distance from where the larger competitor operates (clear instructions are provided,) but this was better value compared to the prices offered by the competitors. The guide Edward who did our punt trip was really excellent - engaging, knowledgeable, and informative but with a relaxed and humorous nature.
