5.00Relaxing, informative and charming punter (Matteo; the others all sounded great as well). I don't know how he can fluidly remember all of that.
disappointing tour with poor value for money.

1.00The experience was nothing special. We have done it previously where the tour guide/ boatman was much more engaging and knowledgeable. This time , we had to look at the buildings and ask for more information. Most of the boat ride was in silence (maybe the boatman was having a bad day). Booking online was more expensive(33% more expensive). It was cheaper to book directly with the punting company. Overall, disappointing tour with poor value for money.
A memorable trip around Cambridge
