Cheese Punting Tour

These fantastic cheese punting tours are English cheese tasting with a true Cambridge twist – they take place on a punt!

These cheesey tours are created in partnership with The Cambridge Cheese Company.

Your guide will punt you along the Cambridge Backs on an award-winning tour, passing the many famous riverside Colleges – but this time, with cheese!

You’ll be regaled with the best stories behind the city that you see today as you taste the especially-selected English cheeses.

This tour offers the chance to sample the very best of British cheeses while gliding through the College Backs in your own punt.

Choose extras as you book, with options from a selection of wines and beers, and make your very own ultimate outdoor tasting experience.

Your exquisite cheese selection will be delivered to your punt ready for your departure with any additional drinks or nibbles that you selected to enjoy on your tour.

Our cheese tours are bookable up to 48 hours in advance.
