The short answer to this question is yes. We are very happy to offer dog friendly punting in Cambridge. As long as your dog is punting friendly. If you have bought tickets for a shared punt tour then you can bring your dog on board. Please make sure that your dog is well behaved and kept under control. You must make sure that your dog does not upset other customers on the punt boat. We want everyone to enjoy their punting trip. If you are going on a private punt tour then the boat is booked just for your group and is as dog friendly as your group is.
There is no car parking at the punt station. The nearest car park is Park Street Car Park CB5 8AS If you are looking for other parking near Bridge street, Cambridge, then the next closest car parks are a few minutes walk away at either The Grand Arcade (CB2 3QF) or Castle Hill CB3 0AT. You can click on either of the names for a status update as to how full they currently are. Please make sure that you allow enough time to get parked and make your way to the punt station for your trip. Due to it being the most central car park, on busy days the Grand Arcade car park is used heavily and you may have to wait to get in. Alternatively, there is on street parking on Chesterton Road. This is limited to a 2 hour maximum stay. You can get to Chesterton Road by using the post code of the Arundel House hotel CB4 3AN. Alternatively, there are a number of Park and Rides on the outskirts of the city. The Madingley Road one is convenient for both the M11 and A428 and the buses stop on Bridge Street. Madingley Road Park and ride For other Cambridge car parks in or around Cambridge city centre we recommend checking the City council website via the links above. As far as free parking options, there aren't really any in the city centre. Any free and cheap parking options would involve parking several miles away on residential streets, so we don't really recommend these. There are regular buses from the railway station and the nearest bus stop is Bridge Street. Here's a link to a downloadable map of their routes and services. [...]
Ok... the clue's in the name people - Cambridge River Tours Self-hire punting is not an option here. We applaud those of you brave, foolish, or skilful enough to punt yourselves. But we do not condone it, nor will we help perpetuate it.
Absolutely, except for during the busiest periods. However, we limit group bookings to 2 punts on the website as for larger parties we prefer to speak to you in advance to determine your needs. Please drop us an email here, or call us on 01223 927331
In addition to the classic Cambridge college backs punt tour we can book bespoke trips for special occasions: Are you planning on proposing? Pop the question on a Cambridge punt and have champagne on ice ready to pop when they say yes (fingers crossed about the yes!). Are you a photographer / film-maker looking for a steady hand to guide you along the river Cam while you do your thing? We have the flexibility to accommodate just about any reasonable request. Get in touch and we can discuss your requirements.
