This activity mean a lot to me personally as it is how my husband proposed to me!
You can punt yourselves or be punted (my husband punted) - and enjoy the absolutely beautiful scenery. There are lots of punting companies from which to choose if you wish to be punted. You will see (and go under) the Bridge of Sighs - a truly enchanting landmark in Cambridge, a Neo-Gothic covered arch bridge connecting two buildings of St. John's College across the River Cam. Named after the famous Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice, it's one of the most iconic and beautiful sights in Cambridge. The bridge has been featured in many films and was a favourite spot of Queen Victoria!
It's an amazing way to see the University Colleges of Cambridge and of course, the stunning Kings College Cambridge. Highly highly recommend this to everyone - it's perfectly perfect and perfectly English!
