Fabulous tour with brilliant Baby G - Fabulous tour with Baby G... the weather was glorious as we approached the friendly staff and embarked on our punting tour... helped into the punt and wrapped in a lovely blanket to keep out any doring chills, we set off. Baby G had a super patter and was so informative about all the colleges, their histories and other fun facts. We really enjoyed his tour and certainly recommend it... thank you

Perfect:) - My mom and I had a lovely, relaxing, and silly time with our punting guide Jobe (or Joe? his subtle French accent had me distracted so I couldn’t tell for sure which). The weather was perfect, we learned some really cool things about Cambridge, its schools and bridges, and all of our questions were answered with a smile. I highly recommend this activity!:)

Great way to see the colleges and hear historical tales - It was a very peaceful and relaxing way to enjoy the sights of the colleges. I loved that there were blankets and would advise bringing along a drink and snack. Our chauffeur Sam Martin was informative and we really enjoyed his commentary. Thank you for making it a special trip.
