Excellent - We had a private punting tour with Ollie he was very friendly and full of knowledge about the buildings and areas along the river.He answered every question we asked and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Would def recommend this tour and although more expensive for a private tour we thought it was well worth it for a comfortable ride and being free to ask whatever we liked having Ollie all to ourselves.

Super fun cruise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Thomas (10): Was super nice 👍🏻, fun and adventurous. Kids can buy a scavenger card and Callum was super nice doing super well. He told everything always knew an answer to our questions. The kids thought it was boring, but loved it! The line went fast and was super short. The cruise was super fun

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.

RIP OFF!! - Total rip off! Our guide today was so uninvolved it was pathetic. Considering we paid £129 for 5 people. I have been punting on many occasions and have always had really cheerful and informative guides. I had built this up as the grand finale for my guests and WHAT A LET DOWN IT WAS!
