The best one among them Al 5714/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spent the day in Cambridge today and decided to have a cheeky little punt along the river. We were greeted by Jacob who was so polite and friendly and booked us in for a guided trip. We had a lovely time peacefully cruising down the river taking in the sights and learning about the rich history of Cambridge and the Universities. Our chauffer Sam was full of knowledge and we had lots of laughs along the way too! Would definitely recommend. Laura14/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time punting yesterday Sunday 13th April, we had the 3.15pm slot and our engine (Joe) as he liked to call himself 😂 was very friendly and informative and gave us a few laughs along the way. We even managed to get a bit of rain towards the end of our journey and Joe still made us laugh. Great experience and would definitely recommend to others who want to find out abit of history about the University's.
