Cambridge Punters

Absolutely Amazing, a Big Thank You to Joseph our Punter, he was brilliant 👏.
We had a private boat for myself and wife. And a Thank You to the guy who talked to us about Cambridge Punters to get us going. Both guys are in the photos. We loved it. Only way to see Cambridge.

First time we've been on a punting tour an it was brilliant! Beautiful scenery, our tour guide dan was so informative, he really knew alot about the history of cambridge an even told us a poem.

Excellent endurance and tour from Dan who had to punt us up the river in windy conditions. However, he was still gave a fun and educational tour which was engaging. 👌🏿

Such an informative journey, our guide was Ben and we were so lucky to find out so many insights about the famous Cambridge history facts and details of architecture. Thank you

loved this tour so much!! the guide we got was very well informed and hilarious at times. the boat was very clean and they provided us with blankets and umbrellas as it was cold and raining.

Phoebe was the loveliest punter we could’ve hoped for! We were there for our friends 30th and she couldn’t have created a better atmosphere for us. She answered all of our silly questions and told us genuinely interesting and engaging facts. Creating a relaxing and enjoyable experience! So glad we got her. Thank you thank you! X

Fantastic guide. Very interesting with a good sense of humour. Lots of facts for adults and children alike.

We were running late from an appointment at Addenbrookes. We called to let them know, our booking was move to work for us, no problem! Very accommodating.

Would 100% recommend.

The trip took around an hour.

Fantastic 45 minute relaxing boat ride. Want to say a HUGE shout out to the punter Joe who was sooo chilled, funny and informative throughout the ride. He answered all questions and gave a small insight into his life - very cool guy. Would definitely recommend to do this when in Cambridge… actually it’s a MUST lol

As for the punting companies, there are quite a few on that strip so you can walk up and down to negotiable prices if you want. We paid £35pp but heard people getting it for cheaper.

Great informative tour. It allows you to spot 8 of the colleges and landmarks including famous bridges, and teaches you interesting history.
The boat was super comfortable and the guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable despite his young age!
Highly recommend for people who want an easy welcome to Cambridge and the landmarks.

I was hesitant to go punting, but it was worth every penny! Our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal and a very skilled punter. She shared a lot of interesting facts with us during the tour and kept us engaged the whole time. I’m afraid I didn’t catch her name, but she was from Washington D.C., so that should narrow it down.

Shared a tour, led by Will who gave great insight into the history of the buildings up the river. Having an experienced pilot makes the journey so much smoother. A beautiful city seen from the water and a nice relaxing punt. The only criticism is the price, but would still recommend giving it a go once!

It was a fantastic experience with Fin. He made the tour great with the information he shared with us. Highly recommended for those who want to have an informative and friendly punting tour.

My wife and I took a day trip to Cambridge from London and this was by far the highlight of our trip.
First, they are the best deal you can get on getting a punting tour.
Second, the website is hilarious.
Third, the employees were great.
Fourth, it was an AMAZING punting ride.
The day before we had booked a 12pm time slot but we got to Cambridge early and when we arrived we met Dani and told her we would be happy to take an earlier slot. Dani, being the Rockstar that she is, was more then accommodating and happily got us on the earlier punt. FYI - You might notice that Dani isn't listed on the website. It's an oversight I am sure they will fix:-)
There were two women who we were joining on this trip and one of them had some mobility issues but Dani and James (our punter) made it very easy and safe for everyone to get on.
Once we got underway it could not have been a smoother sailing. James kept us entertained with stories and history, always open to questions, and kept us moving at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. The weather cooperated and we had a beautiful day and the river wasn't very busy at all so our trip on the water was truly wonderful. Thank you Dani, James, and Cambridge Punters!

Had a great time relaxing and enjoying the view. Our friendly punter Dan told us interesting facts about Cambridge while making us all feel very safe and entertained!

Dan is an exceptionally brilliant punter. He is funny and knowledgeable and we had the best river boat trip ever. Highly recommended!

Used Cambridge Punters during the week with my partner and my two daughters. It was a great experience.
Our 'punter'/guide Josh was brilliant with lots of fascinating facts and insight.
Highly recommend.

Had a great experience here over the Bank Holiday weekend, far more than I expected.

We had a nice ride down, the boat was very clean and not wet which was great!

The guide was really excellent and knew alot of about the area and answered all of our questions and beyond. He wad funny and made the experience unforgettable.

Highly recommend.

Shoutout to Henry, our amazing punter! Ask for him.

We paid £20 per head. Definitely negotiate 😉

Went on 11/08/23. Our punter was Henry who was friendly and was knowledgeable about Cambridge. We shared with another group, but this occasionally meant it was difficult to hear.

Really good tour and reasonably priced. Walk beyond the main sellers just around the corner. Cambridge punters are there and well worth the extra two minute walk. Punter very knowledgable and made the journey really fun.

Our guide was very informative & friendly. The views are stunning and there’s so much to see and take in, 5/5 well worth it.
