Private | Cambridge University Colleges Guided Punting Tour

Badge of Excellence
Cambridge, England
  • 45 minutes (approx.)

Overview

The River Cam is the beating heart of Cambridge, and the signature way to experience it is by punt. But punting technique takes time to learn and can make for a damp and stressful day. Instead of grappling with the pole, travel in style with an experienced punter, plus cushions and blankets for complete comfort. Live commentary brings sights from the Bridge of Sighs to King’s College Chapel to life.
