Cambridge walking tour - Tony Rodgers was an amusing and knowledgeable guide. He had lots of anecdotes and historical trivia to impart backed up by a deep knowledge of the history of this ancient city and university. Although I have visited Cambridge many times before, I learned a lot on this tour and enjoyed a really entertaining 90 minutes of so. Thoroughly recommended.

A special day with a special guide..second to none! - “1209” “31” and “Don’t Now Anything” (DNA) were three amazing pieces of knowledge from the private tour we were privileged to take with the incredible Mr Tony Rodgers of Cambridge Tour Guides. Take the opportunity to do the same if you ever have the chance. You will not be disappointed. A rainy Wednesday in late September was brought alive by Tony’s magical tour. It included all aspects of why Cambridge is such a special place whilst, at the same time, keeping myself and my two sisters thoroughly entertained. What a day! Thank You Tony.

Count yourself lucky if Chris is your guide! - We had a wonderful morning with Chris. We saw everything we wanted to see and never felt rushed. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the town. And he was super clear about directions and recommendations!

Inspiring stories of Cambridge - TR combines a passion for Cambridge + story telling in a way that's truly unique, fascinating and humorous. His interactions with the children and ability to keep them engaged and interested was amazing. Many were so inspired, they all want to study at Cambridge and not 'the other place'. He should be paid a commission! Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this Cambridge Historical Walking Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with Tony who provided a wealth of interesting information about Cambridge and the colleges with humor and skill. He is a fabulous guide. I would take this tour again and highly recommend it to others. We booked the tour through the tourist information office which was also a great resource for punting tour options and other recommendations.

Best guided tour I’ve been on. - First visit to Cambridge although only a short break. The highlight and certainly the best was the guided tour by Tony. His knowledge was amazing and how he remembers everything is mind blowing. He was very informative, witty and kept us on our toes by testing the whole group. Very pleased and good value for money and I’ll certainly recommend to others.

GREAT TOUR WITH A FANTASTIC GUIDE - It was a very late decision for us to find another Guide but at the indication of our hotel we ended up with Tony Rogers. Bang on it, from the first contact there was a match and Tony guided us through Cambridge with great story anecdotes but for a lot of humour !!! On such knowledge, entertaining way of telling and a pleasant person you cannot place negative points! A RECOMMENDATION

A must tour for any visit to Cambridge. - So impressed with Cambridge, made all the better by taking this tour accompanied by the excellent Tony Rodgers. So much interesting information delivered in his easy style. Very happy to recommend both the tour and, particularly, Tony Rodgers.

Great way to acclimate to Cambridge! - My husband and granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed! Our granddaughter had just spent two weeks with the Oxbridge Academy for high school students housed at Petershouse U. of Cambridge. So although she thought she knew Cambridge well; even she was surprised at many points along the tour!
