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!
(15)

Walking tours of Cambridge, led by experienced guides. 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. 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.

The River Cam in autumn's grace
Reflects the sky in soft embrace
The willows bow with quiet cheer
As golden leaves fall far and near

Not sure why this scene of St Catharine's College Cambridge drew my eye - perhaps the balance within the frame?

This is Trinity College, Cambridge Library, or the Wren Library as it's known.

Designed by famous British architect Sir Christopher Wren - you might recognise his name from from St Paul's Cathedral in London.

The library contains many famous and valuable works, such as Sir Isaac Netwon's Prinicpia Mathematica, some of AA Milne's drawings for Winnie the Pooh and a folio of Shakespear's plays

Autumn days in Cambridge are the best.

Golden light, autumn colours, not as busy on the river.

What's not to like?

15/09/2024

Call us biased but we think that this is one of the best times of year to visit Cambridge

Just to prove that some of the most unbelievable stories you hear on a punt tour, are actually true...

📸 Caption this photo 👇 😆

We had to share this image we stumbled across via Cambridge News of an impressive student prank from 1985...

Our top 10 pics from February

We made a short video from our top 10 Instragram posts from February. Unsurprisingly, the snow makes an appearance. Surprisingly, none of our pictures from E-luminate made the cut

Cambridge in the snow

The moment when the 'Beast from the East' arrived in Cambridge. It didn't stop people from punting!

E-luminate 2018

Here's a short compilation of some of the displays from this year's fantastic Love Light 2018 festival. It's on every night from 6pm until next Weds 14th Feb so you still have time to check it out. Wrap up warm and get down there. Maybe grab a delicious burger from Steak and Honour while you're at it!

St John's Wedding Cake

Make a video Facebook said. Ok then, here's a quick video showing the New Court (aka Wedding Cake) building

The Mathematical Bridge

We take lots of photos throughout the year and through the years. Often we will have lots of photos of the same place, for example the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' college. Here's a short video we put together from a series of photos taken over the last couple of years.

Top down punting

Kind of like a live action version of the photo we posted yesterday. Just some punts going up and down the river, from above. Can you spot the cows (clue - they aren't on the punts!)? How many can you see?
