About us

Welcome to Cambridge Punting, where history meets modern charm, offering a punting experience that’s as vibrant and dynamic as Cambridge itself. Our company, rooted in the heart of this historic city, is driven by a team of locals who bring an authentic, insider perspective to every tour. With over 15 years of expertise in chauffeured tours, we have honed our craft to provide an experience that is both engaging and enlightening, tailored to those with a zest for adventure and a curiosity for the rich tapestry of Cambridge’s past and present.

Our tours, departing from the picturesque Jesus Green, are an invitation to explore the unique beauty of Cambridge from the River Cam. In each 50-minute journey, you’ll discover the architectural grandeur of seven prestigious Colleges and the serene elegance of nine bridges, all while gliding smoothly along the tranquil waters. Known colloquially as the ‘Backs’ tour, this path offers a consistent yet ever-fascinating glimpse into the city’s heart, regardless of the punting style you choose.

Understanding the diverse preferences of our guests, we offer flexible scheduling and pricing. To enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, we suggest considering our evening tours, which are not only quieter but also more budget-friendly. Each of our 12-seater punts is steered by a trained chauffeur, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. However, their role extends far beyond navigation; they are knowledgeable guides, sharing captivating stories and insights about the University and the city as you meander along the Cam.

At Cambridge Punting, we’re not just about sightseeing; we’re about creating memorable experiences. Our tours are designed to captivate and educate, blending the allure of Cambridge’s historical landmarks with the natural beauty of its waterways. Whether you have a passion for history, a love for the outdoors, or simply seek an unconventional way to explore Cambridge, our tours are crafted to provide an unforgettable experience tailored to diverse tastes and preferences.

Embark on a journey with Cambridge Punting, and immerse yourself in an experience that combines the best of Cambridge’s historical charm with the excitement of discovering something new. Join us for a punting adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, offering a fresh and exhilarating perspective on one of England’s most iconic cities.
