Punting

Punting may not be the fastest way to get around Cambridge but it is a must when one visits the city. It is the perfect opportunity to view buildings that are connected to the historical colleges. You get ample time to relax and enjoy the view while your chauffeur punts for you. Guests can hire punts from Silver Street, The Quayside, the Back of Trinity College, the Granta Mill Pond and next to Jesus Green Park.
