We really enjoyed hearing about and seeing the colleges and bridges from the river. The early mist added to the atmosphere. Booking ahead online made it very good value.

Got really lucky with our guide/ chauffeur Ben R. He wasn’t just a friendly face, he was wise, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The sun was shining too, so a very pleasant tour 😊

Ben R took us out punting, and seemed to be very knowledgeable! He could have been making it all up, but we couldn't catch him out so it's probably ok
