A must do when in Cambridge, we managed to negotiate a rate of £11 per person for this tour as it was quite early in the morning and we had the punt to ourselves. Would suggest doing this in the morning, as it can be chaotic in the afternoons, as the self hire punters head to the river. Adam our... More

This was a perfect and extremely relaxing way to see the amazing scenery along the river! Can recommend this punt company as we were given excellent service and attention. Our Punter couldn't have been more charming and friendly. We were given an interesting and entertaining commentary and all in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. More

I organised this for a friends hen weekend. We had a packed Friday and Saturday and so wanted something relaxing on Sunday. This was perfect. Despite turning up late they were very accommodating. Our Punter Ben set the perfect tone, he was knowledgeable yet very entertaining. A perfect end to a perfect weekend! More

I booked a tour for myself and a few friends to watch the fireworks and I couldn't have asked for a better service. The staff were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the tour very special indeed. Our chauffeur was fantastic, friendly and informative, creating a relaxed atmosphere on the punt. Our punt was roomy and comfortable with plenty of blankets,... More

We were approached by a short but friendly man who claimed to be the owner of the business! He told us about the highly competitive nature of his business which seemed... More

The tour was Ok but... More

This company kindly took a group of 40 disadvantage children on a punt up the Cam as part of a big party day for them. The staff could not have been more accommodating even lifting children in and out of their wheelchairs and up banks for us! A huge thank you to all concerned. Certainly a company I would recommend...
