Cambridge: Guided Shared River Punting Tour
Who This Trip Suits
A 45-minute chauffeured tour of the Backs with Scudamore’s, the oldest and largest punting company in Cambridge, sold as a ticket valid for 180 days that you use on a walk-up basis for the next available punt. Umbrellas and blankets are on board, and the punter is your guide. It is rated 4.8 from 300 reviews.
The ticket suits a trip without a fixed plan: turn up at a Scudamore’s station when the weather is right, and take the next punt. Opening hours follow the daylight, and the last departure is an hour before closing, so check the hours for your date and allow 45 minutes for the tour. Tips are extra.
The price is from US$109 for up to three people (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For how long each option takes, see how long punting takes.
