The River Cam, in springtime, has an abundance of nature to spot. Delight your mum by gliding down the river surrounded by primroses, crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils.

Sit back and relax with your family whilst your chauffeur enthrals with tales of historic Cambridge, famous alumni and student pranks.
