Punting

Hourly rental costs £15 to £20. Chauffeured punting, usually by a Cambridge student, is also popular. It costs around £12 per person.

Scudamore's Punting Co.. Scudamore's Punting Co. rents chauffeured and self-drive punts. It also offers various tours, ranging from a Ghost Tour to a Punt & Cream Tea Tour, for about £17.50 per person.
