The punter told us interesting anecdotes of the school and its history. They also have the option to allow you to steer the punt, but we saw that it wasn't easy to steer because some of those people got stuck in the wrong direction. Highly recommend for a relaxed boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery of the school grounds.

Anita was our walking tour guide, and she was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of Cambridge and various colleges within it. The inside of King's College Chapel is gorgeous and we were glad we purchased this "upgrade" option with our tour. The punting experience was pleasant and we got great views of various colleges from the river that we couldn't get from land. That said, it's important to note that the tour guides share much of the same content during the walking and punting tours (our punting guide Moses was also pretty good!). It was nice hearing the Cambridge student perspective from Anita. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely recommend this tour!

Because I didn't want to put other people at risk by going on a boat trip, I informed Scholars Punting Cambridge Limited and asked for a refund, which was promptly denied. So I was put in the position of having to choose between going on a boat trip and possibly infecting the general public, their own staff and other customers or losing the tickets money for doing the right thing. I obviously chose not to go and lost my money. There are plenty of other companies doing the same service in Cambridge. Avoid the Scholars Punting Cambridge Limited like the plague, they clearly don't care about you, their staff or the general public.

Sadly, my first 1 Star...but Keeping with my philosophy I post only raving reviews or ones where I…read morethink a warning is warranted. This is unfortunately the latter...I'd like to give this experience more stars but for me personally I'm writing this to help clarify some expectations that were not met for me. And this review if for my punting experience and nothing against the company. They all operate very much the same way. I booked on line not understanding the actual physical space that you would have. And I am not a small man, I completely fill a seat and need a bit of leg room. These boats are barely over 6 feet wide which means 3 people in a row mean you are literally shoulder to shoulder with your neighbor. It comes down to the actual boats. When you buy a ride on a shared boat, you are next to and facing a total of 6 people including you in your section with 12 total on the boat. It is cramped and super uncomfortable when you are trying to keep your feet in your own space. None of this is clarified on a the website so that is why I'm clarifying it now. Knowing what I know now I would show up and chose a boat that had a different configuration With a different company or buy out more seats on my voyage for comfort. Each company has their own license for so many boats and they pack them in to maximize their fares per ride. I get it, they are a business. But I am a customer and I ponied up the money and ended up not even coming close to what I expected and I don't like throwing money at a poor experience. I did not make a scene and I didn't to flame the company but I think people just need to understand better. So, if you want leg room, buy two seats, or spend up and take a private tour. To be clear the owners and their people were lovely! The pack of tourists as myself self that I was put with were not so lovely, the one across from me inviting me to stretch out my legs out while the one next to me insisting that I pull them in. Can you imagine doing that for 45 mins? I cannot and did not, ending up getting off the boat, so that is why I just need to post a warning to go with the right expectations. My expectations were very disappointingly not met, but yours should absolutely be.
