A hands-on Cambridge classic: relaxing, scenic, and slightly competitive once someone in your group starts steering confidently.
This is the most “Cambridge” way to see Cambridge: you take the pole, you choose the pace, and the river decides how graceful you look.
Start with the iconic College Backs stretch and enjoy the views that most visitors only get on chauffeured tours. You will pass famous bridges, college gardens, and the calm riverside scenes that make Cambridge feel unreal in the best way.
It is perfect for friends, couples, and families who want a shared experience that feels personal rather than packaged. Pause for photos, drift slowly, turn around when you want, and celebrate the small victory of not bumping into anything.

Self-punting is fun, but it is even better when you actually know what you are looking at.
Our bilingual audio guide lets you follow the river like a story. Tap the location markers to hear clear explanations of the colleges, bridges, and traditions along the Cam, in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese.
It is the best of both worlds: full freedom on the punt, plus a guide in your pocket when you want context. No awkward listening, no missed details, and no need to pretend you already know which bridge is which.

Many visitors love the river views, but the meaning gets lost when commentary is English-only or too fast.
Our audio guide is built for Chinese guests (Mandarin and Cantonese) and also available in English. It is simple: tap the landmark markers along the River Cam and get the story instantly, with the right cultural context and the details people actually care about.
Use it to understand the College Backs, the bridges, and the student traditions while you punt, so the experience feels richer than “we floated past some nice buildings”.
