Great time, nice guide and splendid vieuw of Cambridge and its history. What more could you want?
Best in the town. Ryan is too good guide. There are many river tours available but look for this one to get a better rate.

We went on a tour with Scholars down the River Cam. It was the height of our day. Ginger or Red head was our enthusiast chauffeur. He was a history buff. He gave vivid account of the rich history of the Cambridge Colleges and bridges. It was relaxing and refreshing. Six stars.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide Hector is the best make sure you ask for him if you can. Funny and knowledgeable to boot. A very interesting and pleasurable trip. Thank you! Plus the landing team couldn't have done more for us. The best punt team ever! 💪👌👏 And best price too. 😉
