Take in the sights of Cambridge with a private punting tour tailored to your group. From special celebrations to quiet get-togethers, enjoy the comfort of your own punt and a leisurely trip along the River Cam.
Romantic Tours
Enjoy a private, romantic tour for two along the scenic River Cam. Snuggle up in your own punt, listen to your chauffeur’s commentary, or simply relax together as you drift past beautiful views in perfect privacy.
Hen Party Punting
Planning a Hen do? Hop aboard for a fun, laid-back punt through Cambridge! Laugh with your own guide, sip bubbly, and enjoy the views—or have a go at punting yourself (outside peak times). It’s your party, your way.
Evening Tours
Enjoy nearly private waters with little river traffic as you glide past sunlit riverside colleges. Watch the Wren Library glow in the early summer sunset. Our guide tailors the tour to your group’s pace, speaking as much or as little as you like. We highly recommend this unforgettable evening tour.
