Discover how the city has evolved from a medieval market town to a world-class centre for education.
The tour itself was enjoyable, but the company's service was disappointing. We specifically booked the earliest slot (9:00 AM) to maximize our time exploring Cambridge. However, our plans were disrupted when the tour operator delayed our start to 9:45 AM, claiming a staff shortage. In reality, it felt like our slot was pushed because there were only two of us and it wasn't profitable enough for them—especially since a competing company set off right on time at 9:00 AM with just two passengers. I wouldn't recommend this operator. If you can't honor scheduled times, don't offer them.
Henry was an excellent guide, very informative and entertaining. The trip is short but covers the main colleges along the backs effectively. We had a very good time, and would definitely recommend to first time Cambridge visitors.
Really lovely punting trip and great guide! We all loved the trip!
It was a super tour. The staff were lovely and the sights were definitely worth it. A must for those who are exploring Cambridge!
