Absolutely best! The guide was the best

Great tour with Johannes who is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The punt was comfortable and there were plenty of opportunities to see the magnificent colleges along the river. Johannes stories added to the ambience and made it a very worthwhile trip.

I have to say Eddie who was our tour guide was fantastic. He had just graduated at Cambridge, Trinity College on History. Very knowledgeable, given amusing historical facts & very entertaining. Well worth the tour. 10 out of 10.
We appreciate the 5-star review. Thank you for your kind words - we will ensure they are passed on to Eddie.
We were originally going to punt ourselves but decided on taking the tour so we could all relax. This was an excellent decision. As first time visitors to Cambridge, it was so great to hear details and fun facts about all the universities and surrounding buildings that we absolutely would not have known otherwise. Our tour guide, Pi, was awesome, he was charismatic and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions whilst navigating a busy river. This activity can highly recommended to us and it did not disappoint.
Pi will be pleased to hear that you enjoyed his tour. Thank you for the 5 stars and positive feedback. We will ensure your kind words are passed on.
Great experience from start to finish. Sadly we don't recall the guy's name who led the experience for us, but he was friendly, knowledgeable and confident it what he does! Information was shared clearly and he able to answer questions with ease when asked. Beautiful scenery, and plenty of space to share with others also on the tour. We made good use of the available umbrellas on this exceptionally hot summers day!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your time on the river.
