Cambridge River Tours

Traditional punting in Cambridge, England. College 'backs' river tours chauffeured by experienced local guides.

Don't miss the best bits of Cambridge! A punt ride along the 'backs' of the Cambridge Colleges is the only way to experience the hidden magic of our beautiful city. With a wealth of local knowledge and many years experience of Cambridge punting we can ensure that your trip along the backs is an experience that you will remember forever.

Our punt chauffeurs are well trained and experienced. Because punting is for most a seasonal job many chauffeurs work for a summer and have often only been working for a few months by the time they reach the end of their tenure. Wherever possible we use chauffeurs who have been punting on the Cam for several seasons - either students who return for their holidays each year or local residents who work in a more full time capacity.
You won't get a robotic recitation of facts

Whilst every river tour covers as much (or as little) of the history as you require, each chauffeur offers their personal take on the history and background information and every tour is unique.
