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!

Pleasant river trip on a private punt - We reserved a private punt and enjoyed the space and personal attention of our guide Lise made We had done a walking tour prior to punting and it was good to know the detail about sights before reaching them on punt.

10/10! - I took my partner for a private punting tour for his birthday. It was a great experience. Our guide was lovely and since it was the two of us, asked us how much tour information we wanted. We asked for the highlights, which meant we got some key history of the area, but also time to just soak up the views in peace. It was a really great experience and would definitely recommend doing this!

Beautiful - Great experience with George as our punter. Very informative story telling, steady ride, and good personality representing the city. We were a bit rush to be at the meeting point cos the (two different) Ubers dropped our family in different locations. We were prepared for the trip to be cut short but they tried their best to give a good experience without rushing. Even the lady at the reception (sorry didn’t get her name) was all smiley. We saw the other punts used the same route so I guess what made the difference has to be the attitude and professionalism of the team. And we were lucky cos George is amazing.
