Our ever‑popular Early Bird punting tours have returned for summer — which means, for the next few months, our staff will once again be joining the foxes and swans for the dawn shift. They’ll be out there setting up early, dodging wildlife politics, and pretending they enjoy being awake at that hour.
They’re cheaper than our usual tours because:
- You’re doing the noble work of waking up early
- Some of our staff are weirdly morning people
- The river is genuinely lovely before the chaos begins
You get our full guided trip along the College Backs — just without the crowds, the noise, or the mid‑day boat traffic. And yes, there is a non‑zero chance of spotting a fox.
