This was second visit to go punting on the River Cam. We had a superb chauffeur and guide who was a Cambridge alumnus. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time gliding down the Cam and under the various bridges.

We can definitely recommend Rutherfords…..the punts were really comfortable and well equipped with cushions, blankets and even umbrellas just in case. The best we saw on the river in fact! Rich was our punter and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the colleges and bridges we passed on the 50 minute tour, sharing lots of facts along the way. A really good way to see parts of Cambridge you wouldn’t otherwise see! Would recommend booking online in advance if you can as you will get a better price than on the day.

We had a wonderful experience punting in Cambridge with Rutherford Punting. Max was our tour guide, and he was excellent! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, making the whole trip enjoyable. His explanations and interesting stories added so much to the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Rutherford Punting, especially with Max as your guide. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

This was a fantastic tour.  Our guide was very knowledgeable (and funny), providing the history of the university, information about noteworthy people who've attended the various colleges, as well as discussing student pranks and what it's like to be a student at Cambridge.  The bridges and campus buildings are absolutely beautiful and this tour provides a different perspective that you don't get from walking the streets.  Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time on our Punting Tour of Cambridge. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining - sharing insights and stories that we appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed! We would highly recommend this tour.

Make room on your bucket list, Prosecco Punting in Cambridge makes a great way to add treasured memories with your besties, family or even (we’re told) colleagues.

You’ll travel for 45 minutes with your own guide, sitting comfortably with our carefully raised seats and with little tables for your nicknacks, bubbly Prosecco and nibbles.

You’ll see the best of Cambridge’s riverside Colleges, including the famously romantic Bridge of Sighs, the spectacular St John’s New Court (aka The Wedding Cake), classical King’s College Chapel, the cryptic Mathematical Bridge and more). You’ll also take a fascinating journey through time to the present day on our fully researched and award-winning tour – we’re holders of the Best Told Story accolade for a reason.

Book your tour to toast with friends as you travel through history on an upgraded traditional punt.
