Rutherford’s
Looking for traditional punting but with a quirky twist?
Rutherfords offers traditional punting tours, sweeping
around the college backs, bridges and quintessentially
English gardens but they also offer a couple of
unexpected tours too. Their diverse punting tours
include hen parties, a sushi dining experience and even
a dog tour. Yes, you and your furry companion can hop
on one of the punting tours and share the experience
together. So, make sure he or she has practiced his
doggy paddle just in case they decide to take a dip!
However, dogs are required to be kept on a short
lead during the trip. The trips are not suitable for easily
excitable dogs.
Each tour lasts 50 minutes and tickets can be bought
in advance online at www.rutherfordspunting.com/
shared-tours. Tickets for adults start at £15, child tickets
are priced at £6 and concessions £12.50. Prices at the
kiosk on the day may be more expensive.Rutherford’s
itself is bathed in history. Their heritage is directly linked
to Ernest Rutherford, a Cambridge graduate and nuclear
physicist. Rutherfords is Cambridge’s newest official
punting company. There’s cushions, blankets and hot
water bottles to keep you warm on colder days too!
