Good tour of Cambrigde

Mark gave us a a great insight into the town of Cambridge and its history. The tour was free and well organised and lasted 2 hours. Enthusiastic delivery of information and the tour seemed to keep us out of the really congested areas of town. Thank you!

Great tour

We did the "free tour" today where you pay what you think at the end. Our guide Paul was excellent, knowledgeable and eloquent. He gave a great introduction with the history of the city and we toured around the centre seeing the outside of several of the famous colleges with great explanations. The tour was just over 2 hours long. Thoroughly recommend.

Our guide, Mark, was amazing. He got the most of the experience even though the weather was awful. He explained lots of interesting details, and knew how to make the experience funny at the same time. Time flew!! No doutb, I'd recommend taking a tour of Cambridge with Mark! Thanks a lot!
