Great punting experience with Chauffeur Illias - We had an enjoyable afternoon punting experience with Let's Go Punting. Our chauffeur, Illias, shared interesting historical facts and fun anecdotes about Cambridge and the colleges along the River Cam as we went along. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a sense of humor that kept us smiling throughout the trip. His story telling made the ride both entertaining and educational. His punting skills were smooth and professional, allowing us to relax and gave photo opportunities from vantage points by slowing the ride and allowing to stand for better view and nice photography. He was patient and kindly lend a hand to assist the elderly guests get in and out of the boat. Definitely a nice way to spend an afternoon. If you're planning to go punting, I’d recommend Let's Go Punting—and Illias did a great job guiding us. Tip: If you can't reach on time or need to reschedule your booking, they charge an additional fee which is not mentioned anywhere in the website.

Highly recommend - A great experience! Really organised and no wait time/all ran to time. Lovely calm and peaceful tour led by James E who was knowledgable and gave a constant narrative on the colleges and history of Cambridge

Enjoyable afternoon! - This was a fun experience we thought we had booked a small shared both with only 3 other people with our three people. Ben was amazing. We sat at the front and could not hear as well and everyone used umbrella for shade including us. Beautiful scenery and Ben knew his stuff. It was crowded on the Cam river but Ben maneuvered us around expertly. It was a beautiful day on the Cam. Definitely recommend, ask for Ben!

Amazing time! Daniel Rocks! - This tour was very nice, we had a lovely weather but Let’s go punting is prepared for bad weather with umbrellas and blankets provided if it’s not. Daniel H.P was very informative and really lovely. He helped us learn a lot about the town and colleges.
