Great experience - The weather was unpleasant, but Callum made the experience enjoyable for our family. My kids especially loved his Harry Potter references throughout the tour. He is both humorous and genuinely caring toward his customers.

Joe is a star! - Joe was brilliant - knowledgeable and witty. He gave us enough time to take it all in without saying too much or too little. I learned a lot about the history of the colleges and how they were founded and famous ex-students. The weather was sunny and Cambridge looked amazing. Thanks Joe!

Great tour, had a fab time - Hats off to Oliver for making it a fun event, 4 of us really enjoyed it, got to be honest & say that the rest of my party didn't really fancy being in the river in autumn but everyone agreed it was brilliant. Learned a ton of great info, thank god our guy could steer, he made it look easy but looking at some of the self hire ones it really wasn't ... Leave it to the professionals 🤔🙏😁
