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! 😉 )
Experience the tranquility of Cambridge’s River Cam on a peaceful evening punting tour. As the river calms, glide past historic colleges and serene gardens, taking in the breathtaking views under the soft glow of the evening light.
Enjoy the River Cam almost to yourselves, gliding peacefully past historic college buildings as the evening light sets over the water. Take in the stunning Wren Library bathed in soft, pink hues.

– who was a very personable young guy with plenty of knowledge about the local area and some stories to boot. The tour was about an hour as Jack expertly navigated around / past those steering themselves with less grace.
You get to see some sights you cannot otherwise see on foot, so a good trip to experience
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).
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 was very informative about everything,all the buildings and surrounds.Try to book in advance as it does get busy.The company is right at the very end of the board walk in front of a pub called Byron Bear.
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.
