Hello. My name is John and I have just been part of one of the most wonderful tourist experiences on the planet, a punt tour on the river Cam through buildings clothed in grandeur. The chauffeur was brilliant. To keep up I had to get ahead of myself! Name withheld

Being advised to opt for one of the smaller companies we stumbled across trinity. Their punts looked quite tatty but I can see past that and thought if we received a university guide this would more than compensate. I was a little bemused after we paid £50 for a private tour, a little man who smelt of alcohol apoached the... More

We're sorry not to have met your expectations on this occasion. In the 11 months since your visit changes have been made to our punt fleet and personnel which reflect our commitment to providing a high quality service. Our chauffeur punts are now thoroughly maintained, and the chauffeur in question has not worked with us for several months. Thank you... More

We were promised a lovely peaceful trip along the college backs , I've done it before with scudamores and found the tour rather sterile so wanted a more personal experience. These guys offer tours in smaller 5 seater boats, perfect for small groups and families. No complaints about the scenery, which is stunning, but our rather scruffy guide John seemed... More

These are 40 mins long, £12.50 per person. Punter was good - managed to miss most of the other punts and avoid collisions! The punts start on Garret Hostel Lane, which is off Trinity Lane - if you're not a local, take a map. The route is from the middle of the Cam to the Mill Pond, back down to... More

Away from the main tourist area is Trinity punts that offers both punt hire and chauffeured punting. Share a chaffeured punt for 12.50 each (up to 5 people) or book a whole punt to yourself. We had a punt to ourselves for gbp 40.It may be slightly more in busy periods. Lasted about 40-45 minutes. Interesting idiosyncratic talk on the... More

We decided we wanted a private tour for the 2 of us, which isn't normally what the chauffeurs want to do because they don't make as much money but Trinity Punts were more than happy to do it. The lady who took us on the tour gave us plenty of interesting information but was not constantly talking so we could... More

Punting along the Cam River was a fab experience. They have wonderful guides narrating to you the history of these colleges with so much humor that you actually enjoy a lesson of history, which might otherwise seem boring. You can also have close encounters with the ducks and swans that come to you looking for food. Surely, punting should be... More

Don't miss out on punting down the river! Our guide Ed was so informative, fun and....skilled! After much hesitation Ed convinced me to have a turn at steering the punt, proud to say i did not steer into a wall! What a great feeling lazing in the punt, enjoying a bottle of cider and taking in all the beautiful sights... More
