Founded at the start of the 20th century, Scudamore's are Cambridge's original and most renowned punting company. Since their foundation, they have been hiring out boats and running Cambridge tours to residents and visitors alike. They offer boating activities in two directions, either along the famous College Backs or upstream towards the beautiful village of Grantchester.
