Angeli Pawagadhi24/04/2024Went to Cambridge last weekend with my partner and decided to do some punting and came across ‘Let’s Go Punting’. Had the best time looking at the beautiful buildings in Cambridge. Our guide Sam was absolutely amazing, hilarious, and gave us great historical knowledge of the city!
Dinesh Sivanesan23/04/2024This experience can be excellent or terrible, it all depends on the guide you get. . Weekend it was 30£ pp
Maria Woodlock22/04/2024We can highly recommend James B he was our tour guide today and the information was excellent. Thank you for a fabulous trip.
Ishan Parmar22/04/2024The quality of the punting tour was exceptional. Sam was knowledgeable about the history and provided fascinating insights as we glided along the serene waterway.
Claire Maddocks22/04/2024Really good tour with a knowledgeable guide
LAD KANISHKA21/04/2024friendly staff! Our guide, Sam told us a lot of interesting facts while punting and was really sweet!
Michel Sindaha21/04/2024Good, reliable service. The sales people here are less aggressive as some others on the plank by the river. Big surprise for a town like Cambridge—you’d expect a certain standard considering its history and academic prestige—but beware of predatory sales techniques by these seeming young and innocent college chaps on the board by the river. I was aggressively approached and haggled with a couple that reminded me of my experiences in Cairo rather than Cambridge. Book online, or at least check so as not to be swindled to pay more than you need to.
Jane Sharp19/04/2024Great company, knowledgeable and funny guild who made our trip interesting and humourous. Recommend Highly
