Glide along Cambridge’s River Cam past famous colleges, bridges, and King’s Chapel on a small-group punt tour with an entertaining guide.

“This was a fun experience we thought we had booked a small shared both with only 3 other people with our three people. Ben was amazing. We sat at the front and could not hear as well and everyone used umbrella for shade including us. Beautiful scenery and Ben knew his stuff. It was crowded on the Cam river but Ben maneuvered us around expertly. It was a beautiful day on the Cam. Definitely recommend, ask for Ben!”
