Punting & colleges — FAQ

Should you punt or tour the colleges?
Do both — punting shows the colleges from the river, and a walking tour explores them on foot.
Which comes first?
Either — many visitors tour the colleges then relax with a punt afterwards.
Can you combine them?
Yes — some tours bundle a college walk with a punt on the Cam.
