10/10! - I took my partner for a private punting tour for his birthday. It was a great experience. Our guide was lovely and since it was the two of us, asked us how much tour information we wanted. We asked for the highlights, which meant we got some key history of the area, but also time to just soak up the views in peace. It was a really great experience and would definitely recommend doing this!

Beautiful - Great experience with George as our punter. Very informative story telling, steady ride, and good personality representing the city. We were a bit rush to be at the meeting point cos the (two different) Ubers dropped our family in different locations. We were prepared for the trip to be cut short but they tried their best to give a good experience without rushing. Even the lady at the reception (sorry didn’t get her name) was all smiley. We saw the other punts used the same route so I guess what made the difference has to be the attitude and professionalism of the team. And we were lucky cos George is amazing.

Let's Go Punting gives 5 star experience. - One of the most memorable things we have done in a long time and our family have done a vast amount of different things across the years. Our chauffeurs Sam B and Jakob were knowledgeable, engaging and funny and did an amazing job of keeping the two boats together the whole journey. A company is only as good as it's staff and this was proved here. Having not visited Cambridge for over 30 years the experience we shared on the river that day has whetted the appetite to visit more often. Well done Lets go Punting top job all and worthy of a 5 star no question.

An hours private trip on the river with a guide - We booked a private trip including drinks. Reception staff were helpful and kept us informed when we arrived. We had Sam as our punter and guide and he was brilliant. Fully interacted with us, excellent knowledge of the area and answered our numerous questions. He was very skilled at navigating his way through the plethora of novices on the river without any issues. He was a delight to share our experience with. Thanks to all at the team.

Private Couples Tour with Ginger James - We went on a private tour as a couple. Ginger James (he asked to be called that, not being rude) was a brilliant guide! Hilarious and very knowledgeable, it was great and I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for an insightful but entertaining punt! Thank you again James!
