Went punting in Cambridge yesterday morning, and it was such a lovely experience. James was an amazing guide, incredibly knowledgeable, detailed, and engaging. He explained the history and stories behind the colleges and landmarks so well, which made the whole experience even more special. Definitely one of the highlights of my Cambridge trip. Would highly recommend!

We had an enjoyable, fun and educational time with Ben as our guide. Parts of this journey can't be accessed on foot so it's well worth it to go punting.

We really enjoyed hearing about and seeing the colleges and bridges from the river. The early mist added to the atmosphere. Booking ahead online made it very good value.
