Cambridge is best seen from the river and from inside King’s College. Below, the shared punts are separated from the private ones, the walking tours that include college entry are marked, and every entry carries its price, its chauffeur option and how long the trip along the Backs actually runs.

“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.”

“Show up on time or you will be ghosts like we were. Ha Ha. I am sure the tour was great. We misread the time and couldn’t get to the meeting spot before they left. Oh well.”
A private, chauffeured 50-minute punt on Cambridge’s River Cam, passing King’s, St John’s Bridge of Sighs, and the Mathematical Bridge.
“Great experience with George as our punter. Very informative story telling, steady ride, and good personality representing the city. We were a bit rush to be at the meeting point cos the (two different) Ubers dropped our family in different locations. 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.”

“We booked just the day before and Jo couldn't have been more amazing. The timing for us was perfect and she checked in advance if there were any special places we'd like to see, if it was our first visit to Cambridge, etc. The tour was excellent. Jo was brilliantly well informed and had endless stories and knowledge to share, but always a brilliant job noticing our interests. We loved the illustrations she shared, the insights into the city and university colleges and even gave us recommendations before our tour and for the next day. Couldn't recommend highly enough. We'll do another tour on our next visit and we've already…”

See Oxford and Cambridge in one long day, with guided college-town walks, Christ Church film magic, and Cambridge icons like the Corpus Clock.
“Worst tour I've ever been on. Hardly any "guiding," 10 minutes of history, repeated in Spanish. We were taken to Kings College, then left on our own for an hour and a half, told to get lunch and find a bathroom. I was 2 minutes late for the bus and it left without me. I'm in my mid 70's and found my way back to London on the train and realized I actually didn't miss much. The bus was quite uncomfortable and there just was so little information imparted. I am sorry I spent so much, including the additional fees. There's too much driving and too little time spent, especially…”
Tour Oxford and Cambridge in one day from London with guided walks, coach Wi-Fi, Vox audio headsets, and standout college sights.
“We loved this tour with our driver Billy and guide Jeremy. He was knowledgeable and both were very caring about all in the tour group. What we saw was what we wanted to see, and got a taste of Cambridge U and Oxford U, visiting the most famous spots, and definitely want to go back for a longer time. It was very hot on the day we went, and were exhausted from the heat and walking, but we would not have missed this tour for anything. I will try to book tours with this company, Evan Evans, again.”
