We really enjoyed punting in Cambridge. The buildings, bridges and canal views are spectacular. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and left time for relaxing and enjoying the experience. We went at 10:00 am and it was not busy and it was peaceful. We noticed that there were many more punting excursions on the canal in the afternoon. I recommend going in the morning when it is less busy.
overall nice experience value of money good
