Let's Go Punting gives 5 star experience. - One of the most memorable things we have done in a long time and our family have done a vast amount of different things across the years. Our chauffeurs Sam B and Jakob were knowledgeable, engaging and funny and did an amazing job of keeping the two boats together the whole journey. A company is only as good as it's staff and this was proved here. Having not visited Cambridge for over 30 years the experience we shared on the river that day has whetted the appetite to visit more often. Well done Lets go Punting top job all and worthy of a 5 star no question.

So fun! - This was definitely one of the highlights of our day in Cambridge. We loved the experience and my kids thought it was so cool. Everything we learned about the history of the town was fascinating.

An hours private trip on the river with a guide - We booked a private trip including drinks. Reception staff were helpful and kept us informed when we arrived. We had Sam as our punter and guide and he was brilliant. Fully interacted with us, excellent knowledge of the area and answered our numerous questions. He was very skilled at navigating his way through the plethora of novices on the river without any issues. He was a delight to share our experience with. Thanks to all at the team.

Private Couples Tour with Ginger James - We went on a private tour as a couple. Ginger James (he asked to be called that, not being rude) was a brilliant guide! Hilarious and very knowledgeable, it was great and I'd definitely recommend anyone looking for an insightful but entertaining punt! Thank you again James!

Recommended! - The tour was about an hour long. Our punter, James, is very knowledgable and friendly. He was giving us fun facts about the buildings and Cambridge throughout the ride. He also managed to manoeuvre our way through the busy river without bumping into anyone. The location of the meeting place is at the furthest end, but that makes our tour a little longer! Overall our family had a good time and feel very welcomed. Definitely recommend this to anyone and their family!

Glorious! - We had a great time. We were early ahead of our schedule but they accommodated us the moment we asked. It was probably too hot for Edward, our captain as we call him, to paddle or steer but he was very patient and just talked to us about everything including football. We all have a wonderful time. I thought it a bit expensive but worth it otherwise. I will surely come back again.
