Romantic Punting Tour
Experience the quintessential activity for Cambridge lovers when you book a romantic punting tour of the College Backs.
Your private tour guide will be waiting to lead you on a one-of-a-kind experience, exploring the magical history and splendour of our beautiful city. You will discover the stunning riverside Colleges, beautiful bridges, and sublime private gardens, as you glide along the famed Cambridge Backs, from the comfort of a private punt, which is much more relaxing and personal than being on a shared punting tour.
Enjoy the romance of the River Cam together as you create new memories on this 45-minute tour.
Your boat will be dressed in cosy blankets and cushions, decorated with flower petals for the perfect romantic touch. There’s the option to add a little sparkle with a half bottle of award-winning chilled Champagne and two flutes, as a part of the ideal date for two.
This tour is the perfect fit for couples celebrating an anniversary, and we also recommend it to any who wish to celebrate their love on a date or those looking to create lasting memories together as they visit the city.
