Thank you Leo

This tour was really lovely and great value for money. The guide Leo was very friendly and funny and had many interesting facts to share along the way. The view was very scenic and the boats were very nice quality. I definitely reccomend for friends or family and will definitely come again. Thank you for the amazing experience.

A lovely punt

Lovely punting trip. Lucus was a great guide/chauffeur; friendly and engaging with good stories about the colleges and bridges. Would strongly recommend that you book a guided trip as most of those trying to punt themselves were struggling and causing rather a lot of congestion (even if entertaining to the rest of us!)

Punting is great. Sam our...

Punting is great. Sam our tour guide was great, knew the facts and was funny. It was really nice to see all the colleges with fantastic weather, and they even had umbrellas to help keep us cool in the sun.

Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed this Punt along the river. Our guide was a young lad in college, he was confident, incredibly knowledgeable, and fun, everything you could ask for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip, you see so much from the River, see so many beautiful buildings and bridges, and learn about the history of Cambridge. A huge thank you to our guide, wish we'd have gotten his name.

Sit in the very back...

Sit in the very back seat. Otherwise, you won't be able to see what the guide is saying nor hear him.

Loved it

I chose to go punting during the golden hour to get great photos- we had a lovely experience. Warm blankets were a bonus when it got a bit chilly.

5* tour with Sam

Sam from Rutherford’s punting was fantastic! 5* and would highly recommend! I’d say comfortably was the best punter there was! No crashes and very knowledgable!
