Brilliant trip on the Cam. The commentary received from our guide was informative and detailed. Highly recommended.
Jeannie_E, Jun 2023
Punting on the Cam was informative and unique. The guide was charming and competent. The proliferation of commercial punting makes for a congested bumper car like experience, and you will definitely feel touristy. Also, the guides are mostly NOT Cambridge University students — they are prohibited from having jobs during school term. We had fun, but it was a cattle-call type tourist attraction. And the viator pass pre-purchase slowed down our access to the attraction as the vendor had to work through third party protocols. The walk up customers were handled with higher priority.

the view was stunning. this is a shared punting tour, and the price paid is for the row of your seats.

We took 10:15 public punt. Trip included lots of history and stories with very adept young lady in charge of getting us up and down the river. It was getting busy as we came back down the river so would suggest early trip. We all really enjoyed it - great fun, would recommend.

This is a great way to see Cambridge with 2 sons, ages 20 and 18, who arent easily entertained. We had a gorgeous day and the punting experience was so fun and entertaining

Excellent experience, tour guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Although weather was cold but the experience definitely worth it .
I am planning to do it again in summer

The tour is not very professional. The money is not worth. Also misleading to put 9am on the confirmation, in fact, it is not the time for boarding but their opening hour.
