Discovery Tour in the River: Punting on the River Cam

In the heart of Cambridgeshire, you can try your hand at customary "punting " on the River Cam in the county seat of Cambridge. On the adventurous punting tour with a chauffeur (or your personal "punter"), you move gently and almost silently through the water in a flat boat by deftly placing a pole on the river bottom and pushing yourself off the riverbed. On this boating activity, you can enjoy the impressive views of historic buildings and lush greenery. Join a guided tour where an experienced punter shares interesting stories and facts about Cambridge and its famous landmarks. This activity offers a relaxing way to experience the city from a unique perspective.
