Nice walk - I had a walking tour booked on saturday and I met the guide outside at Mary’s church. He made the tour amazing with his detail to the colleges and lots of witty insights. The tour was 70’mins and was plenty of time to see everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone who’s coming to cambridge. The booking was very easy and communication was spot on

Wonderful tour, with amazing guides. Would book again in a heart beat! - Had such an amazing time on this walking tour. The gentleman showing us around was really knowledgable about the history of Cambridge and we thoroughly enjoyed the way he talked us through everything. The pace of the tour was perfect - we were able to take in all of the amazing sights without feeling pressured for time. I would highly recommend this company for walking tours - and they even helped us to book a punting tour afterwards with Varcity Punting which was incredible. Lovely people working there, really knowledgeable. Would book again!

Excellent, knowledgable tour of the colleges - Our guide, Yuri, was most helpful in providing lots of background information on the different colleges and the admission process to my niece. He was also considerate to give notice that the tour would be delayed by 30 minutes due to a thunderstorm.
