More Cambridge Punt tours

Our punts tend to sell out in summer, and on the busiest weekends they go days ahead. If the calendar on our shared punt tours page came back empty for the date you wanted, this page is where to look next.

These tours run through our partner. Separate operator, separate boats, separate calendar. Same stretch of the Cam (although departing from the other end), the same eight colleges, the same chauffeured punt with someone else doing the hard work. 

Prices start from £32 per person for shared tours.

What’s the deal?

  • Approx 45 minutes trip along the river Cam in a traditional wooden punt (longer or one way tours available upon request)
  • 8 famous Cambridge University colleges (along the part of the river known as ‘The Backs’), including but not limited to: Magdalene, St John’s, Trinity, King’s and Queens’ colleges
  • 9 famous (and some not so famous) bridges along the route, such as the Bridge of Sighs and the Mathematical (wooden) bridge
  • One of our excellent punt chauffeurs (one per boat!) – they really are excellent, just check out our reviews – to do all of the hard work (the punting) and tell you about the history, student life, architecture and funny anecdotes as you float along the river
  • The punts seat a maximum of 12 passengers per boat but you can book more than one
  • Your punt tour leaves at the time you select – please try to make sure you arrive 10 – 15 minutes beforehand to allow time to get everyone boarded, especially if you are in a large party
  • You are welcome to bring food and drink with you (bear in mind that you might need to share your sandwiches with the resident waterfowl!) so pack a picnic basket and book now
  • You’re welcome to bring pets as long as they are well behaved
