Warm, sunny weather has encouraged many people onto the River Cam to try their hand at punting.This is not as easy as it looks and there are many crashes and lost punting poles.
A chauffeured punt is easier and a lovely way to see around the backs of Cambridge Colleges which are not accessable to the public.
Keep your hands inside the punts, bashed thumbs are a common injury as passengers clutch onto the sides of bumping punts.

There are several starting points for the tours, I usually recommend Scudamores, their starting point is on Quayside opposite Magdalene College.
There are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby if you have to wait .
If you have a large party you can book more than one punt. We celebrated our Golden Wedding by having lunch in my husband's college and then hireing 2 punts for our rather drunken friends which was a lot of fun.You can also arrange to have picnics and drinks delivered to your punt if you want to.
