Well…overall, the punting experience was nice. However, we find the Hong Kong law student who is the team lead for 20th Nov didn’t provide sufficient information for us. He just tried to hard sell the ticket. We arrived Cambridge at 11.10am, he suggested us to go for 11.45am slots without telling us that the walk to the punting area is so far away. We repeatedly asking him how far is the distance? He said just find them in google map and try to give good review. We asked again how far is the place, then he said it is just five minutes away from king’s College, which is super misleading. End up as we started to walk, we realize it was 35mins walk! We ran there like crazy in order to catch the session. It was horrible! He was supposed to advise us properly or book us to a later slot to give us ample time to go there! It was supposed to be a relaxing trip at Cambridge, end up we were so rush, tired and stress. The staff at the jetty were also quite unfriendly, stood there without bothering us…should at least tell us it is the correct place, where should we go wait etc…not very pleasant….

We were a group of 4 friends and wanted to enjoy River Cam and its views. Our punter Ryan was very informative and also funny, really enjoyed the ride. We got to see historic places and learnt a lot about Cambridge in general. I would absolutely recommend anyone who visits Cambridge to go for punting.
