  1. Anto

    Amazing experience, safe and funny. Very interesting. Beautiful sightseeings and confortable boat. Thanks!

    Sitting in the boat was surprisingly comfortable. Our guide Guy, Cambridge native but a student at Oxford, was friendly and shared personal and other anecdotes as well as historical tidbits about the bridges and the colleges. Some information was new, some was the same and some differed from what we heard in the walking tour the day before but we weren’t writing a history book so weren’t bothered.

    Easy place to find and well organised. Guide very informative and best place to see college buildings from. thank you to our guide Murdo .

    A must have experience when you visit Cambridge. The guide was fun, and very knowledgable about the Cambridge colleges, bridges and their history.

    Arrived at Granta punting to find no one there, called the number provided on ticket and a man said you should’ve been contacted by them as it’s been cancelled. No email or call to say been cancelled so complete wasted journey. Luckily we went to another punting company. Full refund is pending.

    Sam our guide was very knowledgeable and VERY entertaining. He was able share a lot of information appropriate to both adults and children in a fun way. My kids (who are usually glued to screens) were happy to be out and really enjoyed the experience. Thank you for making a really lovely afternoon for us. Only small point, I would suggest if there are any delays, might be good to have a text update service, like appointment reminder system by text?

    This cancelled by the tour operators.
    I am still waiting for a refund.
    We did walk down to the river Cam and booked with operators along the river.

    Great guide and interesting places. Worth doing to get your bearings around the city. Not too much walking.

  9. Ruth_C

    We had a fabulous punting tour led by a very knowledgeable medical student. He showed us all the sights and gave us very interesting bits of information related to many of the colleges and bridges that we passed. I would definitely recommend it to others.

    A well run business. Experienced punter. Great speaker. We enjoyed our punting experience immensely.

  11. Marie_E

    Alex was knowledgeable about the history of the colleges. He was personable and impressed us all. He was also very good at controlling the boat unlike a lot of the others we saw out there.

  12. Charlie_C

    We did this experience with my disabled Dad, the team were totally unfazed, straight there with extra pillows and help down the ramp. The tour was so enjoyable, we would definitely recommend this for a trip with friends, family or work.

  13. Hitesh_P

    Beautiful venue and a great tour guide, very relaxing with a good mixture of facts and funny stories

  14. Chantal_P

    It was a beautiful, relaxing trip down the river. The guide was fantastic. We both loved it and we learnt a lot.

  15. Eva_H

    Had a great tour with our guide Harry! Would definitely recommend the tour. Harry shared information about the colleges in an entertaining way with us so that the tour passed very quickly. Thank you very much for this nice holiday experience!

  16. Angela_W

    Brought friends from the States for the tour and had a lovely time. Our guide was an entertaining and knowledgeable student with fun stories of his own to share. Have done punting before, was nice to have a student guide as we heard a few new stories.

  17. Michael_Z

    They switched our booking over to another company but they gave us plenty of time (4-5 hours) so we were able to make the adjustment well. So peaceful and beautiful going up and down the river with stunning buildings alongside. Highly recommend.

  18. AnnMarie_B

    Aggressive and rude guide and little historical knowledge. Lovely boat trip but book with another company!

  19. Fran_D

    Josh was an excellent punter and guide! He was funny and informative. The whole experience was wonderful!

  20. Zsofia_T

    This was a present for a friend – she absolutely loved it, appreciated how the storyline was crafted in synergy with the explored spaces. And of course punting is a bonus.
