Chauffeured Punting
A One Hour Enchanting Punting Tour
Punt, equipment, and personal chauffeur ALL INCLUDED.
Chauffeured punting is the easiest way for you to enjoy this classic Oxford experience.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this enchanting punting trip on Oxford’s River Cherwell, while your expert punt chauffeur does all the hard work.
The lapping of the water under the boat, the daffy ducks gliding alongside looking for treats, the water-colour views framed at each turn by arcades of trees, the play of light on the water, the wind in the willows…
Our chauffeurs for this captivating cruise are all very accomplished, experienced Oxford punters.
So come along, bring a drink, Pimms preferably, and bask in the most spellbinding ride of your life.
We start at the Cherwell Boathouse and meander by the playing fields of the Dragon School, whose former pupils include Hugh Laurie ("House") and Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
We glide gently through the University Parks past Lady Margaret Hall, founded in 1878 for women only, the first time they had been allowed to study at Oxford.
Continuing our relaxing exploration downstream, we eventually arrive at the (former) nudist bathing site for Oxford Dons, Parson's Pleasure, where we turn round and wend our way lazily back.
Pricing for One Hour's Punting
