  Went 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!

  Good, 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.
