We are coming back again. - Archie was a sweetheart, we were late to get to our booked time and he was kind enough to accommodate us on the same day but at a later time. Jon our chauffeur on the punting trip was undeniably hilarious, his quick wit made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you Rutherford punting company for the amazing time. Left Cambridge on a high. 🫶

Excellent trip. The guide... - Excellent trip. The guide was very friendly, informative and helpful. It was very cold and wet when we went (it was February) but he dried the seats and there were umbrellas and blankets available. Really enjoyed it. It was a great use of time and well worth the money.

Horrible operator - I had booked the tour as I have family visiting from South Africa. The tour guide did not do any talking about the history and even hit one of the people with the pole.. we started our tour late and ended it early. Didn't complete the whole route and t I red around because of the "current" in the water.
