Must do in Cambridge - Had a wonderful experience. Very picturesque and guide was very informative. One note is if you like to take photos, sit in the last row opposite the guide. This way when you turn around, you can get unobstructed photo. Any other row, you will get heads or top of heads of the other passengers
