About Let's Go Punting
Let’s Go Punting is an independent family business running traditional chauffeured punting tours in Cambridge.
Let's Go Punting
Let’s Go Punting was set up in 2008 to offer locals and tourists the opportunity to enjoy the majesty of the College ‘Backs’ at an affordable price.
Having a young family ourselves it’s important to us that we provide top-quality tours and amazing customer service whilst still remaining affordable. We launched our early bird rate in 2017 and it’s still available today. With our Early Bird rate, we offer our very best rates for the first tours of the day when the river is at its quietest. In our experience, this option is ideal for families with young children.
We are proud to be highly rated on Trip Advisor, Google, GetYourGuide and Facebook. Check out our latest reviews here. As a small business reviews and feedback are so important to us so if youve enjoyed a tour with us please do take a couple of minutes to leave a review.

His favourite riverside view is St John’s New Court building, which is home to first-year Cambridge University students.

Chauffeured Punting Tours in Cambridge
There is a long tradition of Punting in Cambridge with punts being used as pleasure craft since approximately 1900. At Let’s Go Punting we haven’t been around quite that long but are proud to provide award-winning traditional punting tours of Cambridge.
In Cambridge, Punting is the number one thing to do. So let us take you on our 50-minute private punting tour and show you the best sights that Cambridge has to offer, whilst you sit back, relax, and take in the views.
We offer guided punting tours along the College ‘Backs’ in Cambridge on our newly built fiberglass boats, which were designed and built by Simon. These boat, despite using modern techniques have been based on the traditional wooden wide-beam design. Our boats are licensed for up to 12 passengers who can be comfortably seated on the 4 rows of raised seats.
The College ‘Backs’ in Cambridge is one of the most famous stretches of river in the country – second only to the Thames in London perhaps. It’s also one of the most lucrative with large numbers of chauffeured and self-hire craft being commercially registered on the Cam each year.
We are a small and independent company working from the city council’s Landing Stage on the corner of Jesus Green as part of the city’s independent punting scheme.
