Best hour spent in Cambridge! - This was a last-minute decision after visiting Cambridge for the Christmas Fayre and found ourselves with plenty of spare time on our hands. Best decision we made! Our guide, George, was amazing. There was nothing he didn't know. He kept us entertained the whole time with his information and stories. 100% recommend, and if you can, ask for George, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent - Have a nice ride. Funny and pleasant guide. I recommend this company. We were able to take advantage of a slightly cheaper rate because we work in a hospital. The gesture is nice.

Great punting experience - My family and I joined the punting trip on 29 Nov 11am slot (I’m sorry I cannot remember the name of our guide). Our guide was awesome. There were twelve persons on the boat and throughout the entire punting ride, our guide shared stories of legends, famous people and jokes in Cambridge as we passed by the different colleges. He also shared a vast knowledge of history of the architecture of the different colleges. Towards the end of the punt, he also gave really good recommendations on food options and how else to explore and better manage our short time at Cambridge. Would definitely recommend this!

Ollie was the best guide EVER 🙌!!! - I took this tour on my own while tagging along with my husband as he was on a business trip in Cambridge. Although it was SUPER cold it was worth the chill! Ollie was the PERFECT guide 🙌!
