5A must do visit
A reasonably priced tourist experience. You see the university buildings from a different angle, very beautiful and impressive architecture
5Perfect Sunday morning.
Fantastic mile long trip on the river. Ben was very informative. Great tour. Witty storytelling. Weather was beautiful which helped, of course!
5Best boats on the river!
Oscars the best punter hands down.. we felt safe in his control. Polite, friendly, respectful. Boats were also well kept. Thank you!
5Great tour with Stan
Great river tour on a shared punt with punter and tour guide Stan at 2.30pm on Friday. Very friendly, knowledgeable and charming, with a bit of football banter thrown in. A lovely way to spend 45 minutes on my wife’s birthday.

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.
