The prices were definitely higher than you’d find in most European cities but overall I would recommend the experience.
We were able to bring food/drinks on the punting tour if we wanted. Blankets were provided. The guide was very kind.
The team offered a deal while we were looking at Mathematical Bridge, but weren’t pushy about the sell which we liked.
The boat is comfortable and as it was 3pm in November we were given hot water bottles which complemented the blanket nicely.
We also splashed out on the mulled wine and we loved it. A late afternoon drink which warmed us up nicely.
Unfortunately I forgot our guides name, but he was so good. Controlled the boat, kept a good flow of information, balancing delightful historical details with everyday thoughts and opinions. Highly enjoyable.
I would recommend to book online in ahead so you get the perfect slot you want to, they will give you blankets and they have umbrellas as well in case it rains. The guide & Punter was very good who tells the facts, history about the colleges while going to the backs of each of them. A very nice experience to have for the ones travelling to Cambridge.
