It was a lovely activity & the guide Lewis did quite well to inform & entertain us with knowledge of the colleges. We were fortunate to be at the back so could hear well I’m not sure that people sat further away could though. Definitely worth doing though quite expensive at £75.

The boat trip was lovely, great views and the guide was very informative and knowledgeable. However, made the mistake of having the tour at the height of the tourist season so at times difficult to hear the guide talking and views a little compromised by other boats in view. Will repeat it at a better time in the future.

We booked the tour last minutes and everything went smoothly and we were on the punting trip in no time (we only had to wait for 30minute. Considering it was in the middle of summer holiday, it was fast.) The departure area looked awfully crowded and we wondered for one moment if we made the right thing to come but it was surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable, partly thanks to the very professional punter Jack.
