• 5One of the best ways to enjoy Cambridge!

  This has to be one of the best things to do in Cambridge. Harry, who did all the hard work, kept us amused and informed as he skilfully and gently took us past colleges, while giving us history and some scandal in a way that was totally in keeping with the leisurely nature of the trip. We had also ordered the Brunch hamper and some soft drinks - sharing some crumbs with cygnets and ducklings. Overall, Harry made sure we had a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable time - given the chance to show somebody else the other side of the colleges, we'd certainly choose Harry or one of his colleagues to take us and our guests.

• 5Lovely experience

  We booked a private punt experience for 4 of us and it was amazing. We had Jake as our “Punter” and he gave an excellent commentary throughout our tour, he’s a credit to your company. It was very relaxing and the weather definitely helped as it was very sunny with a light breeze.

About Cambridge

Cambridge is an English university city on the River Cam, famed for its ancient colleges, King's College Chapel and punts gliding along the Backs.

The university, founded in the early thirteenth century, still shapes the centre, with college courts, gatehouses and chapels opening off narrow streets. King's College Chapel, with its fan-vaulted ceiling and tall windows, is the best known, and Trinity's Great Court and the Bridge of Sighs at St John's are close behind. The Fitzwilliam Museum holds antiquities and paintings, and the market square has traded for centuries.
