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.

Highly recommended - We were 5 of us with 3 of them outside uk. We also came in December with other set of family. Found your company’s tour guides are expert in speaking with that sense of humour. We booked online and we really liked the service provided with promptness. Today Luke did exceptionally well & he is a very good speaker with good intonations while he spoke with lots of enthusiasm and good pitch . He does have good sense of humour too. We really enjoyed his speaking while he did the punting. Best wishes for your exams and for your future Luke.

Relaxation on the Cam - We were recommended Traditional Punting tours by our Airbnb host. Pre-booked the day before, easy instructions to find the boat. Very knowledgeable and fun host, Luke, chauffeuring us. Felt very safe under his guidance, trip was about 45 minutes in total and a lovely way to see Cambridge from the river. The blankets provided for warmth were much appreciated on a chilly day!

A must do tour - Five friends and myself had a brilliant time with our guided punt tour. Zanda was our tour guide and found him to be very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. Would definitely recommend using this Punting company.

Great Experience - must do in Cambridge - Highly recommend using Traditional Punting. Stress free experience from booking, receiving confirmation, through to the trip itself. The departure point is a short walking distance from where the larger competitor operates (clear instructions are provided,) but this was better value compared to the prices offered by the competitors. The guide Edward who did our punt trip was really excellent - engaging, knowledgeable, and informative but with a relaxed and humorous nature.

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
