Great tour, had a fab time - Hats off to Oliver for making it a fun event, 4 of us really enjoyed it, got to be honest & say that the rest of my party didn't really fancy being in the river in autumn but everyone agreed it was brilliant. Learned a ton of great info, thank god our guy could steer, he made it look easy but looking at some of the self hire ones it really wasn't ... Leave it to the professionals 🤔🙏😁

Definitely an experience to be had - Ollie, Ollie, Ollie thank you so much for your informative tour, the time flew by and we had an amazing time. If you want to be entertained and learn facts along the way then this is the tour for you. Reasonably priced (we booked in advance). Been to Cambridge a few times and have said we’d like to do this & never have till this weekend. Plenty of space for 3 in a row and leg room between rows. We felt safe the whole trip in Ollie’s hands.

Fantastic family activity- top guide too! - What a fantastic trip. Thank you Murphy - what an interesting and informative guide with just the right amount of humour! Loved our relaxing punt down the backs of some of Cambridge’s famous colleges. We learnt lots and would highly recommend - our teens loved the trip just as much as we did and Murphy definitely made it a memorable trip for us.

Superb Service and Very Interesting Tour - I'd like to say a huge thank you to the guys at Let's Go Punting and in particular our tour guide Murphy for his wonderful kindness and patience on my punting trip today (19th October). I'm having some mobility issues currently and was very nervous making the step down into the punt. Murphy went above and beyond in helping me into the punt. He was very patient and reassuring and his kindness together with his extremely knowledgeable guide really made the trip very special. He was amazing and a real credit to the company. Thank you Murphy - you were a real star today!
