Edward was exceptional. He was charming, knowledgeable and made the whole experience for my mum‘s birthday really amazing. The only thing we found hard was the access to the punt itself. My mum struggles with mobility issues and there were steep steps going down and a big step into the punt, we thought it would be more disabled access friendly. It was great value for money.
