My friend & I had a brilliant time on our punting tour! It was a chilly day but we had warm blankets to cover our legs & our seats were comfy. Our guide Zack was absolutely fab! Charming & funny, full of interesting information & facts about Cambridge, very knowledgeable about the area & history, kept us completely entertained, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Apart from the guide & beautiful views, amazing buildings & so much history it was great value for money would highly recommend. We will definitely be taking another punt on the river Cam in the near future.

The punter spoke very quickly and not always clearly. Unfortunately it rained the whole time. I sure it would have been marvellous if it had been sunny. They were very helpful getting on and off the boat. Thanks
