Thanks to Ben F, great experience - Our punter was Ben F who was friendly and very knowledgeable about the history along the river. There was 4 of us and our 2 dogs seated next to Ben and another couple the other end of the boat who didn’t interact at all. I would definitely recommend this as worthwhile and excellent value for money. Many thanks Ben!

It probably depends on the "driver." - Excellent experience with a very friendly driver. You learn a lot about different colleges. A pleasant walk. We took one of the last laps, there were maybe a little less people on the water, which is no worse.

Great experience - We loved our punting experience. Harry was our punter and he did a great job giving historical facts with some humor mixed in. Booking on line was super easy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Cambridge

Excellent experience! - We really enjoyed our boat tour. We were a group of 9 ranging from age 12 to 50. The views were beautiful and our tour chauffeur, Olly, was fantastic. He had lots of interesting facts and knowledge to share and was just a lovely guy. We couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Perfect Punting - Had our first ever punting tour in Cambridge yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Matteo, had only been doing it two weeks but he was excellent 👌. Great knowledge of the history and kept it interesting. He was very courteous from start to finish, a true professional. Price was very competitive too. Would highly recommend this tour company.

Ok - It was good, interesting from seeing Cambridge from a different angle, paid a bit extra to get just two seats together, but not sure that’s worth doing

Massively disappointed, lack of enthusiasm - Massively disappointed with this. We did a punting tour 4 years ago which was excellent (different company) This time felt rushed, lack of correct knowledge and quite frankly the punter couldn’t wait to finish. Lack of enthusiasm left us flat and not worth the money. It was also cramped, uncomfortable and didn’t feel leisurely Would choose another company next time
