Better don't do online booking first, because you can expect the travel time to prevent your ticket forfeited and waste money. They will not consider and tolerance your excuse, that will spoil your travel mood. They will let your know reason of forfeited is busy, pack for time, no boat, but tell you to rebuy the ticket then hv time boat for you....too business mind, not so good for suggestion. And there hv another company with more cheaper price....we choose this company thought at the same time let student to gain some part time job is a good idea but no tolerance make us lose the money and mood for this boat traveling. Thanks

The guides were well-informed, entertaining and perfectly charming. Even though the weather was being typically British, we stayed dry and warm with the umbrellas and blankets provided for us! All my students enjoyed this intimate and relaxing tour along the river Cam and the scenic backs of the Cambridge colleges.

The guide didn’t adapt to our group of English learning teens and hold a very boring historal speech Very expensive (£ 267 - 10 pax) for just a 45 min boat trip.

From start to finish everything was perfect, comfy padded and with extra blankets. Sun shining and river flowing our gent on the pole was very knowledgeable about all aspects (sorry I can’t remember his name) he made us very welcome and obviously enjoyed the interaction and questions

Lovely guided punting tour of Cambridge’s oldest colleges on the River Cam. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions. We went on a cold day, so the wool blankets Scudamore’s provided were most welcome. Recommend warm clothing as the guided tour lasts about 45 minutes.

Very good punt. Shared boat experience but Ben was a great punter and guide to stories about the university buildings. Plenty of staff around to ask questions beforehand. Found out after that booking online would have saved money for a morning punt.

Cathy did a great job guiding us with stories although it was a very windy day. We enjoyed and appreciated her effort to keep us in the correct direction. It was really appreciated that each boat has equipped with blanks to keep the body temperature. Thanks.

We had a lovely time , especially as the weather was beautiful. We had pre booked and it wasn’t clear where to go. Punting self hire is hard work and the river is busy. Don’t be even a few minutes late as you will be charged! This isn’t made clear enough, and shouted at you when you bring the punt back in which I thought was rude.

No safety training or guidance offered before boarding No life jackets provided Found myself stuck on the river with no assistance, sudden storm and strong winds made it very challenging as a first time

This seemed expensive , but having been on it it was worth every penny . Prices do seem to be negotiable as it was a very quite day in March , they may not be at the height of summer . Our guide was Maddie, who gave us a lot of detailed info whilst punting us along . These guides really do work hard for their money. This really is a great way to see Cambridge - and many areas that are not accessible to the public . Coupled with a walking tour these are the 2 must do things in Cambridge
