Review for: Punting Tour Only

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Although the weather was chilly, we were provided with warm bottles and blankets, which made the ride comfortable and cozy. The guide was excellent in his explanations, sharing fascinating facts about each university as we passed by. He also recommended some must-try food spots, and they turned out to be fantastic. The ride itself was smooth, and we had plenty of time to take photos. Watching the adorable ducks in the water added to the charm. The majestic buildings were truly impressive, especially when paired with the engaging stories behind them. It’s definitely a must-do activity when in Cambridge.

Review for: Walking and Punting Tour with King's College Entry

We had a fantastic day exploring Cambridge! The walking tour was engaging and informative, led by a local guide who brought the colleges and history to life with charm and insight. Special thanks to our punter, who was not only skilled but shared fascinating stories and facts throughout the river tour. Both guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper, fun look into this beautiful university town.

Review for: Punting Tour Only

It was a great experience with beautiful scenery along the way. Each college had its own unique characteristics, and the little ducks swimming in the river were adorable. The entire tour lasted 50 minutes. It was a lot of fun, and the price was cheaper than on the official website.

Review for: Punting Tour Only

I only went on the punting tour and nothing else. The guide was great at answering my questions and the experience was fun and educational. Sadly, it took a bit of time to get on our punt because their was a problem with their system and klook's system. Overall, this was a pretty good experience. It is worth the money and I had a great time.

I would highly recommend doing this at the end of your day tour of Cambridge, just before sunset as a relaxing yet informative way to end your day. Our punter shared so much information from the beginning to the end of our tour and made the tour highly interactive. I got there early and they allowed us entry on the earlier tour.

I'm so glad that we booked this tour on our first day in Cambridge. I learned so much. My mother and I enjoyed so much. Lise was a delight as a tour guide. Connor was our tour guide in the punting tour and he was fantastic as well.

A punting tour at Cambridge University is a must-do. Appreciating the beauty of Cambridge University in tranquility, one can understand Xu Zhimo's "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again." It's a pity that I can't upload the video, the video is even more beautiful.

A must-do experience when visiting Cambridge is to admire King's College, Trinity College, St. John's College, and more from the River Cam. It's much more cost-effective than buying tickets to enter from land.
