Traditional Punting Cambridge

Excellent experience and a must when visiting Cambridge to really see the city and university colleges at their best. We took a private tour which we would strongly recommend as the guide lets you have a go and instructs as well as tells you interesting things. Lots of people hire th punts and then spend most of the time not going anywhere!

Took our family and parents from Canterbury for their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a great experience. The guide/punter (sorry I'm rubbish with names!) was excellent - a great balance of historical information and humour - A fantastic morning on the River Cam. Thanks for making it a special day🙂

Very friendly staff who told tales of Turing, Hawking and other alumni etc. The punts are comfy enough for most people and the journey is very relaxed. Lovely way to spend an hour. Combine it with a visit to one of Cambridge's many and varied Museums to make a lovely day, interspersed with a spot of lunch at one of the many cafés.

This punting tour of the Cambridge colleges was one of the highlights of my vacation in England! The views are spectacular, and our tour guide, Jack C. gave knowledgeable info about the bridges and buildings. Such a cool and relaxing experience. I HIGHLY recommend it! Booking was easy, and we got a text when our punt was ready to depart. LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!

Great experience!!! Our guide Ewan was funny and interacted with us often! I really enjoyed his company and him doing a cool maneuver on the concussion bridge 🤣. He showed us around Cambridge and within around 30m I saw some of the most beautiful buildings and failed architectures ever! Cambridge is super interesting and I'm glad this punting experience was able to show me that. Thanks!

Amazing tour- the punter and guide “Josh” was very knowledgeable. I booked it on my phone and had an email receipt. Parking was a bit tricky- but I asked a passer by and was advised to park in the pub near by. It was a nice walk to the punting point- we grabbed a yummy ice cream (almond pistachio) on the way.

What an experience! The stories, the history, the architecture! There’s just so much to take in, I think I might need another punting trip next time I’m in town!

Make sure you get yourself a proper punting company, we saw a few fools out there trying to do it themselves… not the ideal experience!

Thanks Traditional Punting for a great experience!

Absolutely fantastic 45 mins, had a wonderful time and our guide Tom was excellent. Very polite and had so many interesting places to point out. Highly recommended.
