Cambridge Discovery Package (Including River Cam Punting & Walking Tour)

A shared punting tour and a shared walking tour — two Cambridge classics combined into one.

Experience our Cambridge Discovery Package, which perfectly blends history, culture, and leisure.

About the River Cam Punting Experience

Explore the centuries-old history of the University of Cambridge, whose roots trace back to the 13th century. Among its 31 unique colleges — including King’s, Trinity, and St John’s — each has its own heritage and charm. Your professional punter will take you on a 45-minute journey through the “Backs,” the tranquil riverside gardens behind the colleges. As you relax, our knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into Cambridge’s past and stories of the scientific pioneers — such as Newton, Hawking, and Darwin — who shaped modern thought.

As you glide along the river, you’ll pass seven colleges, nine bridges, and three libraries, each revealing a new view of Cambridge’s breathtaking scenery. Guests are welcome to bring food, drinks, and even pets aboard. Enjoy a peaceful ride past elegant courtyards and historic college façades while immersing yourself in the architectural beauty of the University of Cambridge.
