Fantastic, friendly PhD guide! - Our Cambridge alumni guide, Lindsay, was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave us a friendly and informative private tour across Cambridge. Her detailed explanation on all the facets of student life also helped my daughter receive a an excellent introduction to her Summer Camp.

An interesting 1.5 hour tour - Our guide Zoe was knowledgeable and shared a wealth of interesting historical facts and figures about Cambridge and experiences as a student. We were a very small group ( 3 persons) and chose to skip the punting. Zoe adapted the tour perfectly to our choices and interests.

Day trip from London - My husband, 14 year old son, and I took this tour on a day trip to Cambridge from London. Our guide was TJ. What a treat he is!! Super engaging, knowledgeable, and down to earth. Our son stuck to him like glue because he didn’t want to miss out on any of the information TJ was sharing. Sure Trinity College was closed to visitors due to ongoing protests but you can get a closer look at Trinity if you do the punting trip which is also quite nice. Overall would highly recommend. This tour far exceeded our expectations. Thanks TJ!! We appreciate you.

Great tour - This tour was well done and well worth the money! We did the walking tour with Stephen, a current student at Trinity College who had grown up in Cambridge. He was full of good information and answered all of our questions knowledgeably. The punting tour was fun as well, and a great way to see the back sides of the colleges that you can't view from the street.

Redundant, content-light, and way too expensive for what it was - The tour guide was a lovely young graduate student but her talk felt rehearsed and filled with silly myths about Cambridge’s history. The content felt light and was almost entirely repeated by the punt operator, so doing both is wholly unnecessary. I’d recommend only punting since you get better views of the colleges. Plus, $521 for a 60-min tour (30 min less than advertised) and 40-min punt is ridiculous (we were only 2 people)… that’s the main reason for my 2-star rating.
