Chauffeured Tours

Chauffeured punts were introduced on the College Backs in the 80s as there was a high demand for visitors wanting to see the famous sights along the route, but preferred not to punt themselves. Our guided tours provide a historical commentary, whilst also giving insights into University life. For more information about the different types of Chauffeured Tours available, click here.
