Highlights
This combined package has it all. This tour gives you a unique chance to see Cambridge both on foot and from the water, all in one visit. Enjoy a complete Cambridge experience by combining our 90-minute student- or graduate-led college walking tour with a 45-minute chauffeured punting trip—a great way to take in the city’s history and charm.
The tour takes place outdoors. If you choose when booking, after the walking tour finishes, you can add a self-guided visit to one of Cambridge’s most historic and beautiful chapels: King's College Chapel.
Then, without needing to arrange anything extra, you’ll board a traditional punt and glide along the peaceful River Cam. Passing the famous college backs, the Bridge of Sighs, and the college riverfronts, you’ll see parts of Cambridge that most visitors dream of, when coming here.
It’s a perfect way to enjoy both Cambridge’s rich academic heritage and its tranquil riverside scenery—all in one experience.
