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.
So fun!

This was definitely one of the highlights of our day in Cambridge. We loved the experience and my kids thought it was so cool. Everything we learned about the history of the town was fascinating.

The tour was about an hour long. Our punter, James, is very knowledgable and friendly. He was giving us fun facts about the buildings and Cambridge throughout the ride. He also managed to manoeuvre our way through the busy river without bumping into anyone. The location of the meeting place is at the furthest end, but that makes our tour a little longer! Overall our family had a good time and feel very welcomed. Definitely recommend this to anyone and their family!
Private Punting is a must do experience!

We had a great time. We were early ahead of our schedule but they accommodated us the moment we asked. It was probably too hot for Edward, our captain as we call him, to paddle or steer but he was very patient and just talked to us about everything including football. We all have a wonderful time. I thought it a bit expensive but worth it otherwise. I will surely come back again.
