Imagine floating serenely on a river in glorious sunshine; sipping champagne with your closest friends and absorbing not only the amazing scenery but also the entertaining and informative commentary from a fantastic ‘punter’ Benjie - and that was us only yesterday! A magical memory of Cambridge which we hope to repeat again. ..The 4 Herefordians.

Fabulous wet/ dry punting experience for 11 friends with Lochlan from Australia. In brilliant sunshine he gave us a detailed history and information about the colleges and places we passed en route. Brollies were provided for the scattered showers but were no match for the final downpour were we came off marginely better than our poor chaffeur. What a star he was, would recommend him as a tour guide. Top man. Thank you.

Just completed a guided private punt tour in Cambridge- it was excellent and our guide Nick was great - knowledgeable and funny, and took some lovely photos for us. Thoroughly recommend.

An highly recommended tour. The trip was idyllic and Dan woods was an excellent guide. Boat was very comfortable. We went out at 10:30 which was an excellent time as the Cam wasn’t too busy.

I would definitely recommend the Traditional Punting Company along with Daniel Woods our guide. The whole trip was amazing, beautiful scenery, historic sites and calm waters. We saw a different side to Cambridge brought to life by Dan. He also gave us some excellent recommendations which we also very much enjoyed. Thank you for a magical, memorable experience.

Most enjoyable tour. Alex Blake gave us an excellent talk very interesting and informative. We were amazed to learn that it was only his second day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private punting tour with our excellent guide Cameron, even the weather cooperated and it was fascinating to learn some of the rich history of Cambridge and its Colleges. This would have been a five star review if not for the young lady who initially "greeted" us at the dock area, she was very unfriendly, unhelpful and unsmiling, we got more information from a man from a competing company. When we arrived I said "hello, we have a booking at 6:15 for a private tour" and she cut me off and said "come back five minutes before and you cannot wait here, go somewhere else".... I worked in tourism for longer than she has.... terrible first impression and not at all indicative of the actual experience which is a pity, if we had not had a prepaid reservation we would have gone elsewhere. Can't recall her name but I can guarantee the company knows who it was...

First time in taking to the river in Cambridge...Especially as my wife and I have said numerous times when visiting we should experience a traditional punt along the river... This company for us were customer focused along with being very friendly and professional... Our main man at the helm was Jasper...What a fantastic guide and would book him every time (if we could).... Would book with this company again... Just fantastic and thank you... The TOWIE Couple...Jasper you know who we are...
