Excellent guide - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ari as our very personable and knowledgeable guide. As an added bonus there were only 3 of us on the tour so we were able to ask lots of questions, all of which Ari was able to answer.

Great way to see Cambridge - Great way to see and learn about the area. Rupert had been a history major so I felt we were getting factual information rather than hearsay. He was very welcoming and friendly along with bits of humor thrown in which made for a pleasant tour.
