Amazing experience and tour guide. It was informative and fun. We had four adults and two kids below the age of 2 and it worked perfectly. Safe, interesting and very central.

Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your tour.
Jane_D, Aug 2025
Very enjoyable, fun (Ben F, allowed each of my grandchildren a turn at punting)
Lots of interesting info on Cambridge, colleges, ex students, architecture!
Would do it again
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re glad you and your grandchildren enjoyed the punting experience and the stories about Cambridge. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another trip on the river!

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 amazing.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much! We are glad that you were able to enjoy the full experience despite the difficulty getting to us, we try to be as flexible as we can so your enthusiasm means the world. George is a great young man who will be pleased to know you had a wonderful time.
Thank you again and have a happy holiday season!

This was definitely one of the highlights of our day in Cambridge. We loved the experience and my kids thought it was so cool. Everything we learned about the history of the town was fascinating.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
We are so pleased to have hosted you and the family! We hope you made plenty of memories and we are happy to have been a part of it. We love sharing Cambridge stories with curious customers so thank you very much for coming with us
Punthit_K, Jul 2024
The tour was about an hour long. Our punter, James, is very knowledgable and friendly. He was giving us fun facts about the buildings and Cambridge throughout the ride. He also managed to manoeuvre our way through the busy river without bumping into anyone. The location of the meeting place is at the furthest end, but that makes our tour a little longer! Overall our family had a good time and feel very welcomed. Definitely recommend this to anyone and their family!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much for the great review. James is a lovely young man and we are thrilled to have him on the team with us. What a lovely way of thinking about our location! An extra few minutes on the river! We are so happy to have hosted your family. We wish you all the best

If you do anything in Cambridge, make sure to do this - it’s a must!
Daniel was fantastic, very knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you so much. Daniel will be glad to know he entertained you on the tour of the Cam

We had a great time. We were early ahead of our schedule but they accommodated us the moment we asked. It was probably too hot for Edward, our captain as we call him, to paddle or steer but he was very patient and just talked to us about everything including football. We all have a wonderful time. I thought it a bit expensive but worth it otherwise. I will surely come back again.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
We are so happy to hear it. We aim to be as accommodating as possible and will do what we can for our lovely customers. The chauffeurs are great at conducting tours come rain or shine so long as there are customers happy to brave the British weather. For our cheapest prices, book on our website for a morning or evening tour on a weekday

An efficient and thoroughly enjoyable experience from the original booking to the wonderful journey on the River Cam.
Noah, our guide was a knowledgeable and humourous young man who certainly added to the pleasure of the Cam and beauty of Cambridge.
Wonderful Pimms from the Punting Bar.

We have Will B. as our punter, who made the trip more worthy and interesting. He’s very knowledgeable and willing to share any info about Cambridge with us! It was definitely a enjoyable ride.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We're absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your punting experience with us, and we couldn't agree more about our team members like Will. We're so grateful for your wonderful review! ⭐️
Heather_F, Jun 2023
We had a relaxing, fun time during our trip down the Cam river and back. Our punter was very pleasant and spoke well about Cambrige University and it's Colleges. We went at 10:15am before the height of river traffic and it was still a bit congested. Recommend getting there early. We were a family of six and had plenty of room on the boat.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review! 🌟 In the summer, and especially on Fridays and Saturdays, the River can get fairly busy. Come back in November to have the Cam to yourself
CLARISSE_A, Jun 2022
What a fun and great way of seeing the back of all of Cambridge colleges.
Our guide James was fantastic! Knowledgeable, funny and very personable.
We would highly recommend this tour and this company!
