This was a fun experience we thought we had booked a small shared both with only 3 other people with our three people. Ben was amazing. We sat at the front and could not hear as well and everyone used umbrella for shade including us. Beautiful scenery and Ben knew his stuff. It was crowded on the Cam river but Ben maneuvered us around expertly. It was a beautiful day on the Cam. Definitely recommend, ask for Ben!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your trip with Ben and that his knowledge and skillful navigation made the experience enjoyable despite the busy river. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words, and we appreciate your recommendation!

Perfect time of year to take a punting tour and learn about the bridges and colleges of Cambridge. Our guide was engaging and clearly enjoyed his role. Top recommended activity for any visit to Cambridge.

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.
