It is one of the oldest traditions in Cambridge but attracts new visitors every day. You may not have realised but that would be punting. Scudamore's Punting Company has teamed up with local bar Revolution, to offer punting cocktail parties!

The private tours entitle you to your own mixologist to prepare your drinks (that's two on-board cocktails from the punting-tailored menu). You also get queue jump, free entry and a reserved table at Revolution before 9pm. There is a minimum spend of eight paying adults at £35 each. Prices are quite steep, but this is Cambridge!
I recommend that you grab some dinner at La Raza before heading out for the night and after, try our choice of B&B, The Waterman.
If you’re looking for a less booze-filled trip then straight-forward punting tours are available, or if you’re just looking to have your very own Cambridge adventure, then hiring a punt is a great way to see the historical sights of the city without the history lesson.
“Punting is quintessentially Cambridge and weather you’re looking for a luxurious tour or seeking an adventure as you do-it-yourself; we aim to have the perfect offer for you," says Francesca Poglia, Marketing and Communications Manager.
Punts can be hired on a walk-up basis. You can hire any time between 9 am and dusk, 364 days a year, but we’re guessing this is weather-permitting!To find out more email Scudamores direct.
Prices per hour:
Adult: £22
Concession: £16.50
Keep an eye on the website for offers. At the moment, there is an offer for 90 minutes at a discounted rate if you book online.
I'd suggest that if you haven't tried your hand at punting before, it's probably worth watching the tutorial supplied by Scudamore's Punting.
