This combined package has it all. This tour gives you a unique chance to see Cambridge both on foot and from the water, all in one visit. Enjoy a complete Cambridge experience by combining our 90-minute student- or graduate-led college walking tour with a 45-minute chauffeured punting trip—a great way to take in the city’s history and charm.

The tour takes place outdoors. If you choose when booking, after the walking tour finishes, you can add a self-guided visit to one of Cambridge’s most historic and beautiful chapels: King's College Chapel.

Then, without needing to arrange anything extra, you’ll board a traditional punt and glide along the peaceful River Cam. Passing the famous college backs, the Bridge of Sighs, and the college riverfronts, you’ll see parts of Cambridge that most visitors dream of, when coming here.

It’s a perfect way to enjoy both Cambridge’s rich academic heritage and its tranquil riverside scenery—all in one experience.

    Our tour guide's name was Niamh, current graduate student at Cambridge gave a great tour - would recommend her!! She did a good job of sharing some of the history of Cambridge along with how current day Cambridge is like as a student without going into too much detail (perfect amount of information). She was very knowledgable and gave great instructions as we went along. She did a great job of answering our questions and accomodating the hard of hearing people (myself and one other lady in our group). We were very happy to have done the tour - learned a lot!!

    We had an incredible experience on our walking tour. The guide was friendly, funny, and had tons of information and fun facts to share. The time went by very quickly! I wish I could remember his name to mention it in the review, all I know is that he used to go to Oxford and now attends Cambridge! Anyway if you can request a guide who used to attend Oxford, do so!

    On the day of the tour we met up with Megan, our guide. We were fortunate to have Megan all to ourselves, no other couples joined on our timeslot. Megan provided relevant information to me and my husband on Cambridge university and its surrounding areas, including stories from the past. Megan was clear with her communication and we both appreciated Megan sharing her knowledge. Thank you again Megan, we wish you well with your future plans.

    I went on this tour with my daughter in October 2025 and found it very informative and interesting. We had Claudia and found her to be punctual, very personable as well as being very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour & the optional extra for Kings Chapel as well as the great punting experience. We had Moses and again, found him very friendly and informative.
