Feel a bit defensive reading the reviews, because I feel Ollie was the best guide (punting and delivering a fun talk in cold Feb is no joke) - he had incredible energy. Thanks 🙂

Had a wonderful morning on the boats for our first time in Cambridge. Best way to start the day especially having Zac as our man with pole who knew a great deal about the history. Learned a lot of the bloke. He’s the reason I’ll come back again! Cheers punters
