Great activity for all the family - Fantastic punt tour shared with my family. Would highly recommend. James Evans made the tour for us , it was a smooth ride and full of interesting historical facts along the way - the blankets were a bonus too on what had become a chilly day? Thank you!

An excellent experience - This was an excellent experience from start to finish. Easy booking online and information provided was clear - also a five minute reminder by text. We were lucky enough to have Joe as our guide and he was both entertaining and knowledgeable, and a very skilled punter! We learnt lots and really enjoyed his stories. He helped us into the punt, we felt comfortable and safe and had plenty of room in our seats. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful sunny spring day so the scenery along the river Cam looked at its best. It was so interesting to hear about all the different colleges and see them from such a different viewpoint. Our 2 tickets at 12.45 totalled £35. Jolly good value for such a wonderful experience.

Thoroughly recommended - My birthday was made even more special by this fantastic experience. Can’t recommend highly enough, from booking in person with a very pleasant and efficient young man on the day to our time on the river. Special thanks to Iyosh (Apologies for the spelling) who was knowledgeable, friendly and a local lad which was nice. Intend to return and visit other places of interest he pointed out like the Wren Library. We took my daughter’s Westie puppy with us - no problem at all, she loved it too.

Not all ‘punters’ are created equal… - Matt, our ‘punter’ today, was straight out of Central Casting, spot-on with commentary detail and with a very British dry sense of humour.

Fabulous Cam experience with Matt as our Perfect Punter! - Matt was the perfect punting guide/ punter. Great knowledge and anecdotes as we took in all the wonderful views of the Colleges from the Cam. Certainly chose the right company as it turned out we could view a long stretch of the Cam from Jesus Green to Queens college. Immensely enjoyable afternoon with the perfect weather, thank you!
