We were very close to being late for our slot as there are alot of punting stations along the boardwalk. But as we arrived we were straight on and, given assistance to get on and off the boat which was a really nice gesture. Polite and efficient. The tour was nice, it was busy and we had a few boat bumps, we couldnt hear our guide very well. But the sun was out and it was a nice morning to experience even just seeing all the schools and bridges.
A wonderful experience. Isa made this a beautiful and relaxing way to end the day. Very highly recommended, and we travel a lot.
Great experience, Isa was great. 100% recommend. Will definitely come back. Easy to locate. Thank you
The trip in a punt lasts about 40 minutes. The young man who did the punting also gave the commentary. He was informative and entertaining. We saw a number of the colleges. The punt was low in the water but felt comfortable and safe.
A nice relaxing time on the river. Mateo was an excellent guide and the kids loved the ice cream boat.
Great short bit of fun, Josh gave us a lot of info. 45 minutes long but worth it.
Amazing and very relaxing experience
All good thanks. Some confusion over where it started.
Alex was wonderful! The river and views of Cambridge were beautiful and we learned so much! Exceeded expectations!
This was a fun activity and I highly recommend going. Ned was a great tour guide. He gave us some insight as to what life is like for him at school.
