We always recommend Lets Go Punting, who offer  punting tours of Cambridge and it’s colleges, conducted for you by a chauffeur who will effortlessly punt you along while providing an interesting insight into Cambridge and its history. Punting is the perfect idea for a special family day out in Cambridge, and is the ideal outdoor venue for celebrations such as birthdays, Hen Parties to Work Dos and Corporate events.

Tours of Cambridge

Lets Go Punting offers high quality punting tours of Cambridge along ‘the  backs’, literally the back view of the colleges facing the river. Punting is the perfect way to see the seven Cambridge University colleges which are steeped in colourful British history, and the majestic Kings College chapel which provides the backdrop for one of the most highly acclaimed educational institutions in the world. When punting in Cambridge your chauffeured tour will pass under 8 bridges including the Bridge of Sighs and Mathematical Bridge, and you’ll be returned you to your departure point having given you ample time to absorb your magnificent surroundings. We always recommend booking punting online LetsGoPunting.

Childerley is our favourite venue for a wedding. Whenever our guests come back from a wedding there, they always say how much they enjoyed it. The Barn is historic, and the biggest of its type in the country. When it’s all decked out for a reception, it’s truly magical. One of our daughters went to party there, and she said it was the best organised party she’d ever been to. And she’s seen some parties!
