Review of Cambridge’s private 50-minute punting tour, with Kings College Chapel, the Bridge of Sighs, guide tips, pricing, timing, and practical advice.

“We had a great time. We were early ahead of our schedule but they accommodated us the moment we asked. It was probably too hot for Edward, our captain as we call him, to paddle or steer but he was very patient and just talked to us about everything including football. We all have a wonderful time. I thought it a bit expensive but worth it otherwise. I will surely come back again.”
