Lets Go Punting

Lets Go Punting We specialize in 50 minute private or shared chauffeured tours of the 'College Backs' in Cambridge
(175)

On one of our tours as you glide past Kings College Chapel and follow the bend, meandering around St John’s College and passing underneath the stunning Bridge of Sighs, you’ll be forgiven for imagining stepping backward through the history of such an eminent educational institution. You can experience a little of what the great thinkers of Cambridge have had as their academic backdrop since 1209.

Christmas is a time of giving; perhaps it’s a gift to a loved one; or the gift of magic to those who believe; and most importantly the gift of a helping hand to those who need it most.

Every year we welcome onboard the choir from St John the Evangelist for our Christmas Carols on the River. We take this opportunity to give back to the local community, and this year we have chose Tom’s Trust, a charitable organisation which is dedicated to providing support for children with brain tumours and their families.

100% of ticket sales will be donated to If you can’t attend but would like to support this cause, there are several ways in which you can help. We have started a fundraiser (a link is in our bio) with the hope of raising a further £1000 in the next 30 days. Any amount no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated and would help support Tom’s Trust enormously.

Tickets are on sale now!

Come all ye faithful for a less than silent night!

Who doesn't love the countdown to Christmas? The smells of citrus and spice hanging in the air, the sequins and glitter adorning shop windows, the echos of choirs singing that ever so familiar tune, each element of Christmas promising excitement for both adults and children alike.

We are so thrilled to once again welcome onboard the choir from St John's the Evangelist on the 5th of December. Our annual Christmas Carols on the River is a delight to locals and tourists alike, tickets go on sale on the 10th of November so mark your calendars as this event usually sells out fast!

This year we are supporting Tom's Trust, a Cambridgeshire based service dedicated to providing psychological support for children with brain tumours and their families.
