      As I was in Cambridge for 2 days so decided to try punting ! Easy to book online . This is one of the few tour operators on the app that accept single booking. My guide is Joss , very witty and I enjoyed listening to the the interesting stories and facts during the tour. He is knowledgeable too and answered a few questions raised . Had a very enjoyable time . Would definitely recommend this tour !

      Simple to book the activity under "get you guide" app. We arrived 10mins early and checked in, at 11.30 we were allowed to board our punt boat. We travelled about a mile up the River camb, with our tour/punt man telling us about the Universities and other famous and relevant things. The tour lasted about 45mins.

      Absolutely wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon. Our guide was both knowledgeable and funny and full of anecdotal information. The scenery was fantastic. John went out of his way to reschedule our booking after we got caught in traffic and missed our original slot. Superb customer service. Highly recommended!!
