A highly recommended experience to see Cambridge from a different perspective!
I don’t remember the guide’s name, but he was incredible! He shared the history throughout the whole tour along with some interesting facts (give him a raise! 😉 )

Trip took about 50 minutes in total. Chap was very friendly and was full of useful info. You really get a view of Cambridge you can’t get from elsewhere.
I had mistakenly booked the wrong day for us to go but Joanna was able to sort it at short notice for me so that, when we arrived at the desk, we were expected. All the staff were cheerful and helpful and we were given lots of info about the history as we laid back and enjoyed the sights. We all had totally wonderful time, and my family from Australia said it was their favourite part of the trip!
We came here for my girlfriends 18th birthday, and we were given lots of interesting information and fun facts! He even matched us and wore a hat with us! We had the best time and he made our experience the best it could be.
Thank you!
– he was knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and funny. I would highly recommend. Both the punting experience and Matteo
It was an incredibly relaxing ride down the River Cam seeing 7 different colleges along the way. It was lovely seeing the sights from a different perspective and our punter Jake was very knowledgeable. He told us lots of information about Cambridge whilst expertly navigating his way through the obstacles along the way. We didn’t even brush past another boat (and there were many!). Very impressive. Thank you.
Our guide Matteo was super knowledgeable and welcoming and answered all of our questions, we would definitely recommend. The autumnal colours were especially beautiful at this time of year.
We learnt so much from him today. Top lad 5* would 100% recommend
