If your baby is below 1 year old, then they don’t count. A second baby on the boat does count, so please drop us an email if it’s a shared tour, just in case another group also brings a baby.
Babies are free of charge below the age of two.
Children are classed as 1-12 years old. 13-year-old children should be counted as students.
Punting is alright for all ages. We will assist those with mobility issues as best we can, although some may find it too difficult to sit at the floor level. Please read our access statement to find out more.
There is lots of free and paid parking in Cambridge, please click the above link to our access statement for more info.
The nearest bus stop is Bridge Street. Again, more information on public transport can be found in our access statement.
