Excellent staff, very friendly and accommodating 🥰 They let my 20 year old son have a go and gave him a captain 🧢.
Great tour. I will say there were other punting companies on the water and we would occasionally bump into each other, but it was still fun. I would also say that our guide wasn’t as talkative as other guides and it would’ve been nice to know some of the small facts. But he still covered the basics and I loved the tour. I would absolutely do it again.
Ned was an enthusiastic and safe river guide and I enjoyed the tour.
Mark was an excellent tour guide. Would definitely recommend.
Cal was a delightful guide and the tour was both informative and enjoyable. Great way to see Cambridge!
Very fun and informative. We got stuck on a piece of metal, but the guide handled it very well; all in all, the trip was more memorable because of it
Great river cruise with exciting and entertaining information about the city.
We loved this guided punting tour! It was informative, interesting, relaxing and very enjoyable. Our chauffeur punted us safely through an extremely busy river. It was graduation day and the river was at its very busiest. We took fabulous photos and will have great memories.
Fun experience for 50 minutes. No issue with sharing as the boat is split to sit in a 4. If you have mobility issues I would not recommend as it will be difficult sitting down into the boat and after 50 minutes your legs/feet are a little uncomfortable.
Punting great - book your tickets directly with the company. Viator charged me about £20 extra AND didn’t apply a discounted rate for seniors
