Amazing experience and tour guide. It was informative and fun. We had four adults and two kids below the age of 2 and it worked perfectly. Safe, interesting and very central.

We booked our punting through the varsity hotel. We had a great time very relaxing and Ben F was a great guide who was very informative. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5-star review. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your time on the river with Ben and would love to welcome you on board again in the future!
It was amazing experience to know the historic city Cambridge. Alias was amazing and active and did great effort to explain the landmarks, bridges and colleges.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Cambridge and that Elias made the tour engaging and informative. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments on to him!
Total rip off! Our guide today was so uninvolved it was pathetic. Considering we paid £129 for 5 people. I have been punting on many occasions and have always had really cheerful and informative guides. I had built this up as the grand finale for my guests and WHAT A LET DOWN IT WAS!
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Our guides aim to provide engaging and enjoyable tours, so it’s disappointing to learn this wasn’t the case for your group. We’d appreciate the chance to look into what happened — please feel free to contact us directly so we can make it right.
Very enjoyable, fun (Ben F, allowed each of my grandchildren a turn at punting) Lots of interesting info on Cambridge, colleges, ex students, architecture! Would do it again
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re glad you and your grandchildren enjoyed the punting experience and the stories about Cambridge. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another trip on the river!
