About This Tour
A punt along the River Cam is one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy the atmosphere of Cambridge. This 45-minute guided tour begins at the boathouse and takes you gently along the river, offering views of the city's most picturesque sights. You’ll pass the paddocks of Trinity, the iconic bridges of Cambridge, and the famous King’s College Chapel facing the river. Along the way, you’ll also see Queens’ College — the oldest building on the river — and the striking architecture of the royal foundations. As you glide past tranquil green spaces and elegant college buildings, you can enjoy light refreshments on board. With peaceful surroundings, historic views, and the option to sip and relax, this experience captures the charm of one of the most famous waterways in the world.
