“We had an incredible experience on our walking tour. The guide was friendly, funny, and had tons of information and fun facts to share. The time went by very quickly! I wish I could remember his name to mention it in the review, all I know is that he used to go to Oxford and now attends Cambridge! Anyway if you can request a guide who used to attend Oxford, do so!”

“It was the perfect tour. Our tour guide, Zac was very informative and quite pleasant. Viewing the university from the water was an experience that I will never forget. Zac provided a part of university history that I will continue to research.”
A private, chauffeured 50-minute punt on Cambridge’s River Cam, passing King’s, St John’s Bridge of Sighs, and the Mathematical Bridge.

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…”
Shared Cambridge punting from Jesus Green Moorings, gliding under nine bridges and through the College Backs in about 50 minutes.
“There are a fair number of tours available like this. This company doesn’t rent boats for punting yourself. That said, I would recommend this group especially if you want a leisurely trip. It was a little over an hour, and we were paired with a nice family of ten. Adam, our punter, had a lot of history at hand, and did a great job describing the history of buildings and bridges we saw.”
