Punting is one of the 'must do's' in Cambridge. You can choose from a meandering trip along the backs to see in colleges from a whole new perspective with a guide. The guides all have great knowledge of this history of the different colleges (always entertaining even if only loosely based on truth!!). If you are feeling adventrous and have some time to spare then 'self-punting' is definatly the way to go, just make sure you do it in the correct Cambridge way (by standing on the back), if in doubt watch how students and guides are doing it, and not the Oxford way by standing in the middle and going nowhere!!!!!
If you have the whole day to yourself then it is wothwhile punting over the 'rollers' and down to granchester where there is a great tea room with history a-plenty for you.
