Gliding along the River Cam in a punt has to be the most Cambridge way to spend an afternoon. This private one hour tour is for up to twelve people, so you can bring the whole gang along to enjoy the views of the colleges, the Bridge of Sighs and King’s Chapel. A professional punter does the hard work while you sit back with blankets and umbrellas at the ready, but if you fancy having a go yourself, you’ll get the chance to try. It’s a relaxed and memorable way to see the city from the water.

About the Experience
When it comes to Cambridge traditions, punting has to be top of the list. There really is no better way to see this historic city than drifting gently along the River Cam with your friends beside you. This private one hour tour is for up to twelve people, so it is perfect for making a bit of an event of it. The punt itself is a flat bottomed boat with a square front, designed for shallow rivers, and there is nowhere better suited than the Cam. As you float past, you will be treated to views of the famous college buildings, the elegant Bridge of Sighs and the impressive King’s Chapel. Your guide, dressed in classic boating attire, will do the steering while you relax under cosy blankets, with umbrellas on hand in case the weather takes a turn. If you feel brave enough, you will even have the chance to take the pole yourself and try punting. Whether you are a local or just visiting, this is a wonderfully laid back way to soak up the sights of Cambridge.
