Very pleasant trip - We booked online and got a great deal for two shared trip tickets. Even got 15% off code. Arrived and we were well impressed with the efficiency of the staff and the quality of the Punts. The punts were extremely comfortable and they appeared more luxurious than other punts on the river. It was a sunny warm day however clean blankets are provided should it be cooler. Our guide was polite and very informative. Throughly enjoyed our trip and pleased we chose Rutherfords

Punting with Pip - the sexy receptionist 😘 - We had a lovely time on the river Cam with Pip as our guide.
Loads of laughter and serenades as you would do in Venice 🎵🎶
And we have learnt a lot as Pip has made boring history into interesting fairy tales.
We will be back.

Best Punters! - We booked this impulsively and it turned out to be the best thing we did in Cambridge. I can’t recommend it enough! Matt was our guide and he was the best! Cute, funny, smart and so well versed!

Good trip - Booked a trip which said boat up to 6 people. We were put into a boat for 12 people and they initially tried to get us to squeeze in with 2 random strangers. They’re weren’t keen either so thankfully it didn’t happen. Not a great start
Thankfully our guide John pulled it back with his interesting commentary and enthusiasm. Enjoyed the trip overall
