Punting is definitely not as easy as it appears. This is why I give Scudamore a poor rating. We…read moreliterally got zero/nada/zip instructions before being pushed off. Once we were adrift, I had no idea even how to steer and resorted to asking other nearby punters for instructions. So after finally figuring out just enough to move down the canal, we came across some low hanging branches. While going under the branches, the pole became caught. Rather than letting it go (as I should have had I received proper instructions), I lost my balance trying to save the pole and took a plunge, with my iPhone in my pocket. It was pretty embarrassing as it was graduation week and bunch of people looking on. Fortunately it was easy enough to climb back on without tipping my family into the canal in the process and I managed to salvage a little dignity by punting around for another 20 minutes or so. But it certainly wouldn't be something I'd ever do again. So because of their utter lack of concern or care, I lost some dignity and the use of my iPhone for the rest of the trip, had to travel back to London completely soaking wet, have to fix or replace my phone. What else could I have asked for?

The punter told us interesting anecdotes of the school and its history. They also have the option to allow you to steer the punt, but we saw that it wasn't easy to steer because some of those people got stuck in the wrong direction. Highly recommend for a relaxed boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery of the school grounds.

He was outgoing, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations. His punting was skilled and safe. If I could give him 6 stars I absolutely would.

Down the bridge stairs to their shack on the shore. Tom was our guide, he was so knowledgeable and pleasant, had wonderful wit and pretty much answered any question our small group could come up with. The view of the schools and bridges from the water was divine and a must see for visitors, since the city was designed to be traveled into by water. (I would definitely recommend the private tour if you can swing it, but a group would be fine too) He even gave an opportunity to punt at the end. When I come back to Cambridge I am doing this again!!

From the owner: Cambridge Chauffeur Punts was founded in 1993. Since then we have built up to a fleet of 29 Punts…read moresome of which are double punts, designed for taking groups such as school parties and conference groups of up to 130 people. Customers can choose from taking a tour with a chauffeur guide or punting themselves. We operate on upper river, towards Granchester and along the middle river which passes the famous college Backs. Below is the map showing the area close to our punting station. If you are a group arriving by coach, ensure you are arriving at the Queens Road Coach Stop, which is only about 100meters from our punt station.(For other areas of Camrbridge, see links below). We are situated on Silver Street bridge underneath the willow trees. A punt is a flat-bottomed boat which does not have a keel, and is propelled by means of a long pole. Punts were introduced as pleasure craft in Edwardian times, since then punting has become one of the most popular ways to see the famous bridges and colleges along the River Cam. Although most people share a chauffeured punt with others, we are happy to provide private tours on request, booking is advisable.We are based opposite Queens' College Porter's Lodge, adjacent to Darwin College, on Silver Street Bridge.
