It was good. Olivia is a friendly, Enthusiatic guide. Customer service were super helpfull and they can solved the situation i had. Get your guide needs to have a little touch up on their system (double booking by system, which can’t be cancelled by clicking the button only, so i have to contact customer service). More detailing & clear explanation will be appreciated. As like the punting company they use. There are 8 punting companies in the area. Overall it was good experience to have if you never been to cambridge at all.
