Walking tour with Tony - A group of 11 colleagues met up with Tony (registered Cambridge Tour guide) on a chilly misty day in mid December. Despite damp conditions Tony soon had us chuckling at his jokes and banter. He led us on a 90 minute walk around the various colleges and imparted his knowledge of the history of the university and the scientific breakthroughs generated in Cambridge over the years. There was never a dull moment! Despite the cold Tony’s animated style kept us engaged and oblivious to the gloom of the day. We would highly recommend Tony and the Cambridge Tour Guides. Thank you!

A fabulous tour - My niece and I ended up being the only two people on a walking tour with Tony, which worked out brilliantly for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, it was fascinating and great fun. Tony has lots of fabulous stories to share and he is very funny. It was well worth the price... particularly as we had our tour guide to ourselves. We also used the 10% discount at The Eagle, which was handy.

Excellent guided tour of historic Cambridge - We had an extremely good guided tour through central Cambridge with Tony Rodgers. He shared his extensive knowledge about history, people and places with anecdotes about student pranks and all the strange traditions of college life. British humour, answers to any question, excellent connection with the audience - we could not have had a better introduction to Cambidge history. Warmly recommended!
