What you'll do

Gliding along the tranquil waterways of Cambridge is an absolutely essential experience, and on this tour you can learn the stories behind the stunning architecture on a private, personal tour.

Exclusive private tours on the River Cam are led by Cambridge University students who have a passion for the city and an amazing knowledge of its history and traditions. The tour is ideal for couples, groups of family and friends or even prospective students. As you cruise through eight of the most famous colleges and under nine iconic bridges, taking in sights such as King’s College Chapel and the stunning Bridge of Sighs, your personal tour guide will spin stories that blow your mind.

History fanatic? Considering studying architecture? Want to know about student pranks, May Balls and Formal Halls? Or are you happy sipping champagne and enjoying the view? Tell us exactly what you want from a punting tour, and we’ll do the rest.

What our travellers are saying...

Excellent tour, I had friends come up from London to visit me and this was my ace up my sleeve, they really enjoyed the sites along the canal. Tim the guide was very professional and explained in depth what sites/views we would see and the staff knowledge of the history of the buildings along the canal were on point. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cambridge.
