Beautiful & Relaxing Tour! - I highly recommend taking a tour with Let’s Go Punting! We had a fabulous time on a beautiful summer day with our guide Jake. He was very skilled, knowledgeable, kind, and funny! We learned a lot about the history of Cambridge and the universities. I would definitely go again!

Great driver! - A private tour for a family of 8. Plenty of room for everyone in the punt. Despite it hammering down with rain for most of the booking, we really enjoyed this, largely thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable host Arun, who kept us entertained with stories of alumni, the histories of the various colleges, and the escapades (real and rumoured) of the students. Umbrellas were provided, and they did their best to dry the seats etc. the members of our party at the front of the boat couldn’t hear much through the wall of umbrellas and over the rain, so if you’re unfortunate with the weather (as we were) then bear that in mind if you want to hear what the captain of your punt has to say.

Let’s go punting with Let’s Go Punting! - Great punting down the Cam! Our guide Euki (not sure of spelling) was amazing- local who knew his history. He was entertaining and informative.

A great way to spend an hour! - Joe was a great guide and punter! His tour was really good and he is vey knowledgeable. The sun had just come out and the river was busy but Joe steered us carefully up and down the Cam. A lovely way to spend an hour with my husband, sister and brother in law.

A terrific afternoon on the Cam - Dan led a private tour for our family. My 82-year old dad and 15-year old son had a terrific time talking about university life. Everyone was very impressed with his knowledge of the town’s history, skill and humor, and his ability to handle the myriad questions we threw his way. Thanks for a great afternoon!

A lovely trip along the river - I arranged this for my husband's birthday and took along our two dogs. It was a lovely relaxing trip. The person who took us out was friendly and full of patience with our dogs who started to get bored towards the end and fidgety. My only slightly negative thing is I would have liked a tour with information about the places with were passing.

Six go punting! - Many thanks to our Punter, Joe Evans, who wasn't the slightest bit intimidated by the fact that three of our party of six were also tourist guides (from Bath, Wells and Westonbirt Arboretum )! He gave us a most enjoyable, relaxing and full rendition of everything we saw as we gently meandered our away along the Cam on a bright, warm and sunny Wednesday this week. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a lazy morning in Cambridge. Many thanks, Joe!
