A highly recommended experience to see Cambridge from a different perspective!
I don’t remember the guide’s name, but he was incredible! He shared the history throughout the whole tour along with some interesting facts (give him a raise! 😉 )
Discover the charm of Cambridge with a private punting tour—your own exclusive journey along the River Cam. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply seeking a peaceful escape, our private tours offer a relaxed and memorable way to take in the city’s iconic colleges, historic bridges, and tranquil scenery.
Our spacious private tour boats can comfortably accommodate up to 12 passengers, making them perfect for larger family outings, birthday celebrations, graduation parties, or corporate events.
A private punting tour offers a more personalised and relaxed experience compared to a shared tour. With your own dedicated boat and chauffeur, you can set the pace, enjoy exclusive privacy, and tailor the journey to suit your group’s preferences. It’s the ideal choice for special occasions, providing a quieter, more intimate atmosphere without the distractions of other guests
You’ll find our boating station on the River Cam beside Jesus Green, next to Byron’s Bear, Cambridge. Look out for the Cambridge Punt Company sign by the riverside and our team in their distinctive striped uniforms, who will be happy to assist you. If you’re driving, Park Street Car Park is just a short walk away.

Trip took about 50 minutes in total. Chap was very friendly and was full of useful info. You really get a view of Cambridge you can’t get from elsewhere.
He could answer any questions we had – whether it was the history of the University, famous alumni or how the colleges have been used in films. Thank you for a delightful trip! It was a cold and sunless morning at first – but we didn’t notice it, dressed up warmly and felt the trip was long enough, very good value and inspired us to visit some of the colleges we saw (another time).
Jack was brilliant, very friendly, knowledgable and made the trip for us really enjoyable. Very impressed at his language skills too!
I had mistakenly booked the wrong day for us to go but Joanna was able to sort it at short notice for me so that, when we arrived at the desk, we were expected. All the staff were cheerful and helpful and we were given lots of info about the history as we laid back and enjoyed the sights. We all had totally wonderful time, and my family from Australia said it was their favourite part of the trip!
We came here for my girlfriends 18th birthday, and we were given lots of interesting information and fun facts! He even matched us and wore a hat with us! We had the best time and he made our experience the best it could be.
Thank you!
– he was knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and funny. I would highly recommend. Both the punting experience and Matteo
It was an incredibly relaxing ride down the River Cam seeing 7 different colleges along the way. It was lovely seeing the sights from a different perspective and our punter Jake was very knowledgeable. He told us lots of information about Cambridge whilst expertly navigating his way through the obstacles along the way. We didn’t even brush past another boat (and there were many!). Very impressive. Thank you.
Our guide Matteo was super knowledgeable and welcoming and answered all of our questions, we would definitely recommend. The autumnal colours were especially beautiful at this time of year.
We are taking a day off but we will be back tomorrow. In the mean time, explore our tours and book in advance to take advantage of exclusive online discounts and save big on your next experience.
