È la terza volta che vado a fare punting a Cambridge e volevo far fare questa esperienza anche al mio fidanzato (era la sua prima volta a Cambridge). Ho scelto questa compagnia per effettuare Punting nel fiume Cam principalmente per due motivi: il costo davvero competitivo e per il Promoter biondo che ci ha convinti con il suo cartellone in cui ci ha illustrati cosa avremmo fatto. Il giro è stato incantevole e siamo stati molto fortunati anche con la nostra guida Joe che era molto simpatica e preparata. Il fiume era molto affollato essendo domenica ma Joe è stato davvero bravissimo.

The weather was unpleasant, but Callum made the experience enjoyable for our family. My kids especially loved his Harry Potter references throughout the tour. He is both humorous and genuinely caring toward his customers.

Joe was a brilliant tour guide/punter and was funny and factual. It was a lovely trip, weather was sunny but cold (It’s February) but he made it feel like the middle of summer. Can’t recommend him enough.

We turned up without pre booking and were accommodated within 15 minutes. As we were on holiday we treated ourselves to a private tour. Our tour guide was Ryan and he was great, just the right amount of chat and humour. It was great seeing the lovely buildings.from the comfort of the boat and hearing the amazing stories. I would highly recommend it.

We were treated to a hosted punt on the Cam on New Years Eve, 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. What absolutely made it so brilliant was our guide Luke who was charming, informative and amusing in equal measures. Tremendous!

Excellent trip down the river to the mathematical bridge and back up again. Will Buchanan (sp?) was our awesome guide and we had a lovely time on a quiet and chill day, learning about various places en route. Good to get a look from the river, then to check the front of the colleges (or vice versa). My only qualm was that I was sitting backwards, which was nice to talk more directly with Will punting along, but made me feel like I was missing out, even though I had exactly the same views on the return journey that's just me though.

Hi ! Just wanted to share our experience today with let’s go punting, what a lovely guide we had - Murphy! It was an absolute delight to ride around the river. He explained every location with utmost detail and a bit of sarcasm- which we love ! Would highly recommend their service.
