For the essential Cambridge experience, see the city's best sites as you're guided along its historic waterways! Scudamores is a punting rental and tour company that operates on the River Cam and provides 45 min tours. Punts are flat bottom boats maneuvered by a pole (similar to a gondola in Venice). We recently took the tour and had an amazing time (pro tip: grab a bottle of wine at Cambridge Wine Merchants next door to enjoy on the punt!).
We love going to visit the Cambridge city centre market, especially on Sundays (the day with the most market vendors). There are stalls/vendors ranging from different food options (Eastern European, German sausages, coffee, etc), clothing, produce, and more.
