EXCELLENT Based on 6249 reviews Posted on Alara Ucak11/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought punting tickets in person from this company’s employees on Saturday which were stationed next the Cambridge train station and was charged £70 for two people. We later discovered before the session began that the exact same tickets, for the exact same time slot, were being sold online for £35 for two people. At no point did the company's employees mentioned that the in-person pricing was significantly higher than the online pricing, which felt misleading, deceptive, and unfair. A price difference this large should be made clear before we purchased the tickets. Even though we enjoyed the punting session, it left a bad impression. We would strongly recommend checking their online prices, or going with a different company before buying anything in person.Posted on Aye Kyithar Swe11/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Jake for providing the history of the colleges we passed by. You made out trip!
