Traditional Punting Company

The Traditional Punting Company is a boat tour agency located in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. They offer guided punting tours along the River Cam and every tour is a unique experience.

Established in 2001 by local Cantabrigians they offer tourists the chance to witness the stunning views of Cambridge University that are otherwise inaccessible by foot. Their guided punting tours along the ‘college backs’ have increased in popularity and so has their fleet of mahogany punts.

The team strive to delight every customer with stories, anecdotes and facts about the creation of Cambridge University. They operate their punt tours all year round and they run private punting tours, shared tours and picnic tours plus their favourite evening tours. Their shared tours last for around 50 minutes and you can book a row of seats so that you don’t have to sit next to strangers. One of the best times to take a tour is during the evening.
