The punting experience in Cambridge was AMAZING! The weather was beautiful, and the tour was an excellent way to learn about the history of Cambridge while seeing the colleges and the famous bridges. It was a comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable experience! Mateo was our guide, and he was outstanding. He shared the history in a very engaging way, gave us the chance to try punting ourselves, and was incredibly friendly. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—it made my trip even more memorable!

Jack was an amazing fountain of knowledge, and not just the dry historic stuff. It was a very relaxing way to spend an evening, great scenery and a lovely smooth ride. If you in Cambridge I would highly recommend it.

We’re very local to Cambridge and have been coming our whole lives. But decided to spend a nice sunny day on a punting trip. We had Joe, who was super nice, funny and informative. He was very quick with answers and made us all feel welcomed. He did seem more interested in the spitfires flying above which was entertaining for us, he did a very good job and I’d go back!

Absolutely brilliant.. we arrived an hour early (as we wanted to grab a coffee beforehamd) but was offered an immediate trip if we wanted it. Mateo was our guide and the info he gave us on what we were seeing was the perfect balance between factual, interesting and humorous- he is a credit to your operation. Punt lasted about an hour which was perfect timing (not too long nor too short). Will do this again
