A great company with boats that you can sit in rather than lay down. Excellent steering and a very knowledgeable chauffeur. A definite activity on the to do list in Cambridge. Thanks to the team.

Jacob was very friendly and convinced us to do the tour when we got off the train without being pushy. Our guide, Sam, was great, friendly, and a trustworthy boatsman on a windy day.

Had a great experience with Ryan, our Punter, whose commentary was interesting, informative but also lighthearted. Would advise checking price on line beforehand as the ‘walk up’ price is fairly expensive (almost likely in line with all the other options, although to be fair I didn’t check as the seller reduced to the online price). It was a lovely way to pass an hour, beautiful architecture and history.
