I loved it when he did a triple backflip on the punt!!!!Posted on Pradeep Dethekar12/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, Elias brought the River Cam to life with his incredible depth of knowledge, engaging storytelling, and effortless charm. His commentary was a perfect blend of history, architecture, and quirky Cambridge traditions, delivered with clarity, humour, and genuine passion. Whether it was tales of famous alumni, the secrets behind the stunning college facades, or the evolution of the bridges we glided under, Elias made every moment feel rich with meaning. The pace was relaxed, the views were breathtaking, and Elias’s ability to answer even the most obscure questions made the experience feel truly bespoke. It wasn’t just a tour—it was a masterclass in Cambridge’s heritage, wrapped in the serenity of a river cruise. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than just a scenic ride. With Elias, you get insight, entertainment, and a memory that lingers long after the punt docks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Eduardo Ochoa11/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
