Full description

Punting on the Cam is the best way to see Cambridge’s colleges. Sit back in a traditional flat-bottomed boat while your punter steers you along ‘the Backs’, past King’s College Chapel, Trinity and St John’s.

Along the way your guide points out the landmarks, shares university legends and explains the traditions behind the architecture. It’s a short, peaceful ride in a small shared punt.
