We are thrilled to share that Traditional Punting Company and Let’s Go Punting are among England’s top visitor attractions in 2025. This year, we achieved an outstanding 98% score in the VisitEngland Quality Assured Visitor Attraction assessment. Our team’s dedication ensures every guest enjoys a smooth, memorable, and authentic punting experience on the River Cam. This award recognises not only our hard work but also our commitment to sharing Cambridge’s beauty with our visitors.
Consecutive Gold Awards
This recognition is especially meaningful because we have now won the VisitEngland Gold Accolade Award for two years in a row. Improving on last year’s excellent 96% score fills us with pride and joy. It reflects our team’s dedication, the support of our customers, and our passion for delivering outstanding punting experiences in Cambridge.

Both Let’s Go Punting and the Traditional Punting Company are proud, family-run businesses based in Cambridge. For years, we have worked closely to uphold the highest standards in punting.
