Traveler reviews
A great and highly informative walking tour through Cambridge
Recommended to me by a friend of mine living in Cambridge, I spontaneously decided to join this tour after the free walking tour I had originally booked for the same time slot was cancelled due to a lack of participants. The tour took place in a relatively small group, and Mark, our tour guide, did an excellent job of making it both informative and entertaining. We spent around 2.5 hours exploring Cambridge, starting at King's College and visiting, among other places, The Backs, the Mathematical Bridge and Pembroke College, before finishing at Trinity College. Along the way, we learned a great deal about the history of the University of Cambridge, its college system, what it's like to study there, and some of the scientific discoveries made at the university. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with an excellent guide, and one that I would definitely recommend!
