EXCELLENT Based on 3904 reviews V G04/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience this week with Let's Go Punting. It was our first time using this company and we highly recommend them based on our evening. Our 'chauffeur' Uki was brilliant. Charismatic and funny but knew his stuff as well to give just the right balance for our tour. It was a beautiful evening and the river was quiet as we booked a late slot. The local heron made an appearance and the tour was timed perfectly to fit with evening dinner plans. Thanks Uki!

James E. is the best! very detailed Eldo Alias02/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with the team at Let's Go punting. We were probably lucky to get a guide Ben so keenly interested in history because of which he was able to employ a charming narrative of the sights we saw on our tour. The boat was driven well and navigated through the whole route quite well. You should recognize him easily with the whole modern Indiana Jones vibe and those explorer shoes! Kieran Togher02/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The perfect punting experience on a Friday summer’s evening. Thanks Uki! Sarah Cran02/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent- always use these guys when i have family and friends visiting me in Cambridge. The guide Ralph was very informative and entertaining.
