The tour guide was very very conservative with words to put it politely. Rarely spoke only when we asked him .
Great evening out on the River Cam

Booked an early evening private Tour with my daughter. Special treat after her summer studies. Ben R made it enjoyable with special historical insight on all the different colleges. So great to laugh along the way- he made the trip stand out for sure. Five Stars!
A great way to spend an evening - especially if the weather is nice

This was a great way to spend an evening. Our tour guide Gemma was really friendly and had good knowledge of both the city and the university. The river was quite busy as it was such a nice day, but she was able to navigate the punt well and avoid any collisions!
A must do in Cambridge with a fab company!

We went for a private punt, where Noah was in charge of navigating and sharing with us a really insightful overview of the river and key sites. We really enjoyed it, the boat was clean and comfortable with blankets in case of weather change. We were fortunate to book a beautiful sunny morning and with the first slot of the day, the river was so quiet and peaceful. A huge thank you to Noah for being an amazing host, very friendly and answered all our questions. We took our dog on board too which was an added bonus, overall I would highly recommended!
Trip not to be missed

Brilliant experience punting, even on a cold and windy April afternoon. Our Punter was Jasper. Just the 4 of us on the boat which was great. Jasper was very informative and pleasant, he encouraged us to ask questions and we had a really good tour experience. Would highly recommend.
Relaxed fun afternoon

Imagine floating serenely on a river in glorious sunshine; sipping champagne with your closest friends and absorbing not only the amazing scenery but also the entertaining and informative commentary from a fantastic ‘punter’ Benjie - and that was us only yesterday! A magical memory of Cambridge which we hope to repeat again. ..The 4 Herefordians.
