7 Things We Love About Quayside

Quayside, built in the late 1980s in the heart of the historical city of Cambridge, has been one of the busiest areas in town for many decades.

 

This exciting part of the city centre never sleeps; the whole area is conquered by teeming tourists and leisure people enjoying themselves by one of the local places, sitting by the River Cam or chosing the best option: going for fascinating punting tours with us. Quayside is the most likable points for tourists as it is full of life and offers people wide range of activities to relax and enjoy themselves.

 

 

But why do we, Let’s Go Punting people (who spend our everydays out there) love this area?

 

 

 

 

1. Punting

The absolute winning answer! Punting is definetely one of the main attractions when it comes to Quayside. People love our magical punting tours and so do we. During our 50 minute chauffeured tours we offer a hundred percent entertainment and fun for our guests while taking our cool boats down the river between the college backs and under the famous bridges. Who said history is boring? Definitely not with us. We are not only punt chauffeurs, we are comedians!

 

 

2. People

We surround ourselves with great people who brighten our days. Hanging out with good company is good, but working with amazing people is the best!

 

3. Jesus Green

Nothing’s better than grabbing a bottle of wine and heading to this park to chill out on the sun. This place is literally for everyone – friends and families do barbecue or grab some picnic from Que Rico Tapas or Fitzbillies day by day. Jesus Green is perfect for romantic first dates near the riverside.

4. Eating out

We are big foodies! Moqueca de Peixe, a creamy sauce with peeled prawns, white fish, peppers, lime juice and coconut made by Las Iguanas is one our favourite food to spice up our days. We also love to “mangaire”  The Punt Yard‘s Sprouting Broccoli, Spiced Cauliflower & Burnt Aubegine Pizza and we are really keen to spend looooong coffee and cake breaks in Cafe Foy.

5. The Varsity Hotel

This brilliant hotel and spa offers comfortable rooms, luxurious spa treatments and tasty steak. However, our favourite place is the rooftop bar where we can have great margaritas while enjoying the breathtaking view of Cambridge.

6. Birds by the river

By these days, we’ve became besties for life with the local ducks and swans. Just have a look at these guys!

 

7. Punting Dogs

Of course you can bring your dog with you, unless you are not disturbed by the fact that we might steal them. What is cuter than a punting dog? Maybe a swimming dog?
