Fantastic punting experience in Cambridge!
We had an amazing time on our punting tour with our guide, Daniel HP. He shared so many interesting and funny stories about Cambridge and the colleges, we were laughing and learning the whole way! The views were beautiful, and the atmosphere was super relaxing.

We would definitely recommend this company-it offers the best value for money and quality compared to others. Thanks again for such a memorable experience!

Good family place. You can also punt as well as little grown up kids. Water is not too deep. Need lovely sunny weather. Can buy tickets on spot near punting. There is waiting period 20-30mins. Paid parking on main road and need to walk down. City is nearby so you can have a good look around. No nearby Toilets.

We had an absolute delight punting down the Cambridge River! The views were stunning, and our guide's interesting and humorous storytelling brought the city's history to life. What really stood out was the guide's exceptional punting skills - a stark contrast to others we saw struggling. At an affordable price, this experience is a must-do on a beautiful day. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Cambridge in a fun and relaxing way!

We had a wonderful experience. As we were 17 of us.. we were accomodated in two boats, however Kai and Jack ensured our family members were together throughout the punting.. . We had a soulful ride and Kai, Jack were repository of information about the university.. Truly one of the best punting we have ever been. Thanks to them..

Wonderful experience, worth every second. It is a perfect way to get to know Cambridge, its rich history and culture. Not only you get to see splendid views but also can hear a lot of interesting stories and facts. I would repeat this tour once again and I recommend it to everyone who visits Cambridge for the first time.

We took a tour on a Monday afternoon in autumn and had Patrick as our guide. He was great!! He was a wealth of knowledge, telling tons of anecdotes and interesting facts. He answered all our questions and made us laugh. We cruised easily through the river without bumping into anyone or anything. He was an expert punter! I would highly recommend this company, but also would recommend Patrick specifically! 👍

The price is a bit steep, even after a little negotiating but in spite of this we had a lovely time. We went on a shared punt of 4 rows of seats, we used one row - 2 adults and 2 children (10 & under) which was comfortable for us. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour worthwhile, I think you would lose a lot without this. We could sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery and architecture along with the history. 45 minutes was perfect timing... Just about when the youngest had had enough.

Scenery is stunning but boat experience and service was poor. Put aside the charming and well cultured Cambridge students, the boat was extremely hard to manoeuvre and staff on other boats were making fun and unwilling to help. We needed special assistance to get on and off but didn’t get it. Diabolical!. Add to that the crazy price of £270 for a guided boat or £50 for 90 mins of self pilot and it’s not worthwhile. Try canoeing or paddle boating elsewhere. You’ve been forewarned!

A big price but they give you a massive reduction (part of the act to lure tourists, I'm sure). Very beautiful boat trip along Cambridge waterside. Friendly punter who knew his stuff and gave plenty of explanation. With the 'reduction' it's worthwhile though.

It was a wonderful experience to go on punting in Cambridge. Our rider Eton was very good at explaining and describing places. It was 45 minutes boat ride.
Worth for the price
