INformative Cambridge walking tour with punting - We took a walking tour of Cambridge without Kings College. Our guide was Stephen, who is very bright and witty. He taught us a great deal about the town and the university in 90 minutes. We included a punting trip, from which we learned even more.

Great explanation by and then still quiet Cambridge - We just took the walk with an Alumni around the colleges of Cambridge. We were the only two so actually got a private tour. Oh, great. Eveline told very knowledgeable and with enthusiasm. She's obviously proud of her university. It was very educational and very fun to do. Definitely recommended.

Good experience - Gabriel was excellent. The tour felt very hollistic as we got to see many of the landmarks in Cambridge. Gabriel spoke about the history of a lot of these places and it was good to experience these sites with someone who has been in Cambridge for a long time.
