Our tour guide max was the best. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Had the best punting experience with Rutherford’s punting.

Keilder was very polite and helpful to book. Our chauffeur was so friendly and talked nice and slowly and really made good jokes along the way

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. Customise your tour with the choice of flower petals and champagne for the perfect romantic touch. Simply select your desired features in the add-ons section of our booking portal.

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.

Romantic Punting Tour Information

Your tour will take you through one mile of the most beautiful riversides in England. You’ll see elegant bridges, sublime buildings, famous bridges and spectacular buildings.

You’re welcome to bring something to eat to take on your tour. All our punts have little tables for your use on the tour and raised seats for your comfort, aiming to create the best experience. Please call us at 01223 322200 for special requests and last-minute appointments, and we will try our best to accommodate you.

Where To Go

Check-in with our crew at our Bookings Desk, which is just a short stroll along the boardwalk from Quayside or up from our Jesus Green Moorings.

Our boats and employees dress appropriately for the weather on the day. On hot days, your guide will wear a waistcoat or shirt, and perhaps braces. Our boats are decked out with cushions and blankets, and on your romantic excursion, there are petals in the boat. During the cooler months of the year, your guide will wear a professional coat, and your boat will also carry additional blankets, umbrellas, and hot water bottles in case the weather changes.

What to do if you’re running late? Your booking will be held for you for 5 minutes, after this point it wouldn’t be possible to go on the tour as this would mean missing our later bookings. Please call us the moment with delays to your schedule as soon as you know and we’ll try to rearrange timings for you.
