We went there on the 12th of April. My friend and I booked a punting tour in the morning and we had a wonderful experience and absolutely lovely pictures there. We selected a shared punt tour in which the price was very reasonable. Sam is such a nice, funny and incredible staff. He told us about all the attraction information when we were passing them. It is really interesting to know the history. Overall, I would recommend Lets Go Punting!!

We were very lucky as the weather was perfect for this activity! Our chauffeur Callum was funny and it was nice to have a fun fact tour. Nice 45 minute ride up and down the river. Glad we did this.

An excellent way to spend an afternoon on the river. Our tour guide, Alban had a great mix of knowledge and humour, combined with story telling skills. Thoroughly engaging and entertaining. Thank you.

Just had a very enjoyable punting experience this afternoon. We didn't book in advance and was about to get a shared ride "at the door" from another company, until we found that Let's go offered a price that was more than 50% cheaper (make sure you don't sign up with the first salesman!) We got on almost immediately, and our guide Ryan was witty and knowledgeable. It was quite windy but there were blankets for us. We enjoyed the lesurely ride and got to understand a lot about the various colleges, fun history and everything you'd like to know as long as you ask questions!

Such a cool experience! Our punter Aron was funny and taught us loads of stuff about Cambridge. There were blankets to keep us warm in the cold December weather too. We saw beautiful buildings and bridges. But the best part was when we got overtaken by a quacking speedy duck!

Our amazingly skilled Punter Noah was a sight to behold as he skilfully navigated us up and down the river Cam, imparting interesting and fun facts all along the route. What a legend! We had a chilly and peaceful tour soaking in the architecture and historical beauty of the colleges and bridges along the way. Thank you Noah and Lets go Punting.

Tinker1980

Brilliant. From booking to finish the whole experience was 5 star! Easy to book, with text reminders and notifications it made the whole experience very simple. Our tour guide was Paul. He was fantastic, with amazing knowledge and so kind and considerate with our two children - answering all their questions / helping them with their quiz. Loved this experience and would definitely do it again / recommend to anyone fancying an alternative tour of Cambridge.
