Great fun activity but staff didn’t go through how to punt clearly and was quite challenging!

So much fun! Scudamore's where you turn up are very chaotic, but the quiz organisers were lovely and the quiz was brilliant.

This was a good idea but not to expect one of the party to be the "punt" - this should have been provided by an experienced person. To expect one of the party to do this was dangerous and thoughtless. This made the whole experience less enjoyable - a real shame and quite a big oversight in my opinion

Great fun. Recommend going in the morning as gets extra busy in the afternoons. Could have done with a little bit more tuition on how to manoeuvre the punt but we learnt along the way. Would recommend for a group activity.

Fabulous sunny afternoon! We weren't very good at the punting or the hunt but we had a super laugh in trying! The floating bar was very much a highlight 🍻

The self-punts are amazing fun, and the team are really friendly. The river is however crazy busy in the afternoon so perhaps worth noting that the mornings would be the quieter hours to book - it is quite daunting having oncoming traffic when you’re adjusting to the steering! The quiz was good but as it’s advertised as a treasure hunt, a treasure hunt would be better, and definitely align with expectations.

Excellent!!!!! The company were fantastic and very good at explaining and then marking the hunt. The treasure hut was slightly too long.

I didn't feel we were given enough guidance about how to punt - we were not informed we should be on a certain side of the river. However, it was hilarious doing the punting, once we had worked it all out!!

Fantastic fun!! Brilliant team activity. Punting company could have been a little more helpful in giving tips before we set off.

Great fun but should have been a more detailed brief given as to how to actually use the punt!

Never done this before, one word... FAB! Haven't laughed so much in ages! We had a wonderful time sipping champagne whilst punting along the Cam. The scenery and architecture is amazing. Must admit, the quiz kind of got lost amongst the dramas of trying to keep the punt straight!!!

Harder than it looks, no idea how we managed to stay dry!

Brilliant fun - perhaps need more than 2 hours as we weren't able to do the land part of the treasure hunt, but overall excellent.

I was a little sceptical when I realised we'd have to learn to punt ourselves however it turned out to be a lot of fun! Because we were doing it ourselves it did take longer than expected and also meant we didn't really concentrate on the treasure hunt. I wasn't too keen on the idea of walking around Cambridge to finish the treasure hunt, although that may have been because I was so tired from punting! It was a lot of fun, I think personally the treasure hunt almost wasn't necessary as we just enjoyed learning to punt and avoiding bumping into other people!

Really enjoyed punting. I would have preferred somebody else to have punted for us though :))
