Edward was exceptional. He was charming, knowledgeable and made the whole experience for my mum‘s birthday really amazing. The only thing we found hard was the access to the punt itself. My mum struggles with mobility issues and there were steep steps going down and a big step into the punt, we thought it would be more disabled access friendly. It was great value for money.Posted on Google![]()

Ben was a great punter, a local dude who did an amazing job and great storyteller despite the ☔️, well done Ben! We paid 35 quid for three of us, despite some other companies around the river tried charging £75 for three people and only 40 mins. Thanks Ben great tour and jokes too!Posted on Google![]()

All you need to know before you punt
You are very welcome to bring your own food and drinks (including alcohol) onboard. For health and safety reasons please bring plastic glasses/flutes as opposed to glass. If booking a seat on a shared tour, please be considerate of those around you when consuming any refreshments. All rubbish should be taken with you at the end of your tour and disposed of responsibly.
Blankets are provided in chilly conditions, and we have umbrellas on board when rain is predicted. Umbrellas can also be provided in very warm conditions as a sunshade. Please let our staff know during check-in if you would like an umbrella for sun shade.
Punting bookings are per group. We do not charge per person, but rather for the entirety of your group.
For instance, if you are booking a shared tour for up to 3 passengers, the ticket will permit entry to all of your group of 3. This ticket does not need to be repurchased for each passenger.
Solo travellers need to purchase a ticket for up to 2 people.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you are going to be late.
Shared tours can be held for a maximum of 5 minutes. If you are more than 5 minutes late you will miss your departure and will need to repay to book onto a later tour (subject to availability).
If you arrive within 25 minutes of your private punting departure time we can still get you out on the river for a shorter tour time. Please note the boats will need to be back in time to be ready for the next scheduled departure. Some sights may be missed out of the tour as a result.
If we are given a minimum of 2 hours’ notice, we can move your tour to another time slot, subject to a moving fee and dependent upon availability.
