A must do in Cambridge. Fabulous punt with James as our guide.
We had a fantastic punting trip with this company and made a super special first time for my neurodivergent son. Excellent booking and communication from the team and our punting guide Archie was very informative and fun. We will certainly book again. Thank you
We had an amazing trip - Tom, our guide - was knowledgeable entertaining interactive - knew the history and related stories to what we relate to - beautiful scenery - long fun history - enjoyed it (definitely sunny on a sunny day) - thank you Tom for a great trio!
A wonderful experience with Let's go punting. Easy to find, punctual and a very knowledgeable and charming chauffeur called Pi. Thank you
Pi will be so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time on the river. Thank you for the 5 stars and positive feedback!
We were walking for punting ride and lets go punting guys offered us free drinks to all four of us since our punting was after 90 minutes. That was the catch line they used for us. At 4:15 pm we caught the boat and we weren’t provided any drink. Plus on requesting to speak to Manager, the manager never came and instead wanted us to travel to them. Nice work guys. Very bad management and not given what was promised. Never using your useless service again.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have looked into the matter and spoken with the relevant members of our team regarding your experience. To clarify, we are happy to provide drinks for customers, provided they are pre-ordered at least 48 hours before the tour. Unfortunately, we are unable to prepare or supply drinks on the day. It appears there was some miscommunication, and we apologise for any confusion. Our salesman intended to let you know that, due to the wait time, you were welcome to bring your own drinks on board, rather than suggesting that we would be able to provide complimentary refreshments. We're also very sorry that our manager was unable to reach the landing stage before you decided to leave. At the time, he was assisting other customers, which unfortunately caused a delay. We understand your frustration and apologise that we were unable to resolve the situation immediately. This has been discussed with the team to help prevent similar issues in the future. Despite the misunderstanding and delay, we hope you were still able to enjoy your tour. Should you choose to visit us again, we'd be delighted to welcome you back. Please remember that drinks can be arranged with advance notice, and you're always welcome to bring your own refreshments on board—particularly on a warm summer's day! Thank you again for your feedback.
I had to cancel my punting tour with Let's Go Punting due to a serious medical issue that forced me to cancel my entire planned trip to the UK. What impressed me most was how Tayla in their office handled my cancellation — rather than simply processing it, she proactively reached out to offer me the choice between a full refund or a credit note for a future visit. That kind of thoughtful, customer-first approach is rare and truly appreciated during a difficult time. The warmth and professionalism shown by the Let's Go Punting team has made me eager to experience the River Cam with them when I am able to return to the UK. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We're glad that you felt your situation was handled with care and consideration - we will ensure your kind words are passed on! Hopefully we will see you in the near future for a tour. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Daniel, our country chauffeur, was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and witty, giving out little nuggets of information about the colleges we passed both on the way out and back. We enjoyed the tour. The punt journey was smooth and well organised. Go for it.
Daniel will be so pleased to hear the positive feedback! We will ensure your kind words are passed on - thank you!
Eddie was fantastic,well spoken,good pitch,clear voice and had the right balance of not talking too much and just enough. Information shared was interesting also. Well done on your first season,also thanks for the PIMMS stop
Eddie will be so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time on the River Cam with us. He works extremely hard, and we will ensure your positive feedback is passed on. Thank you!
Our guide and punter Marco did a very good job of navigating amongst other punts on the river, providing useful information, and providing a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for your kind words! We will ensure the positive feedback is passed on!
Gemma was an absolute star! She gave us an in-depth tour of all the locations around the river. Filling us in with all the information we never knew. My kids were also fascinated by what they were hearing. Brilliant punter!
