He was engaging, knowledgeable, and had such a great way of bringing the tour to life for both adults and children. Anthony shared fascinating stories about the river, the historic trading that once took place there, local history, and legends—from the tale of Troy and the beautiful Helen, to St Francis of Assisi. He also had everyone laughing with his stories about the giant spiders! He made the whole journey fun, interesting, and memorable. We went with our kids and friends, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the perfect mix of history, humour, and beautiful scenery. Anthony’s passion and storytelling really made the experience special. Highly recommend Canterbury Punting Co, and if you get Anthony as your guide, you’re in for a treat! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47decbca1029c9c5:0xdddc066501dd5561!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Water Lane, Canterbury, CT1 2NQ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.2785085%2C1.0772260) **Category** Boat Tours & Cruises **Guest rating** 4.9 / 5 (1,788 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Suggested visit** 1-2 hours **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Canterbury [More attractions in Canterbury](https://staycation.co.uk/canterbury/attractions) ★ 4.9 (1,788 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.canterburypunting.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01227464797](tel:01227464797) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Canterbury **Postcode** CT1 2NQ **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9F3373HG+CV [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47decbca1029c9c5:0xdddc066501dd5561!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47decbca1029c9c5:0xdddc066501dd5561!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47decbca1029c9c5:0xdddc066501dd5561!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Canterbury Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
